Is my car stock height or lowered?

[Ateup]

It doesn't seem to be as high as most of the stock stang pics I see but it doesn't appear to really be modded any other way. (Buying from a 2nd owner who is 72.) Can you tell by the pics if it's on the stock suspension? I don't pick it up until Friday afternoon so I can't give any measurements. Thanks guys. Look forward to any help I can get going forward in my Mustang ownership. BTW, I won't be asking for Lambo door advice.

Definitely lowered.....AND LOOKS GREAT!

You're going to love that thing.

Thanks, I can't believe somebody did that one only mod. I'm gonna have to check and see if they installed sub frames.

Your car also looks like it has a catback exhaust (those are not stock tips).

that looks right around the same height as my 2000 gt with eibachs.

Hmmm, weird, doesn't seem to have any exhaust tone to speak of.

Thanks guys. I don't even have my car yet and this place has been a big help.

Those are definitely Eibach springs. Rear end is lower than the front. (Eibachs have that problem)

Exhaust tips look after market too.

Everything in the engine bay looks stock. Since it's a vert, I would look for subframes.

You guys were right. Definitely low. I was worried it wasn't going to go up my driveway, but it cleared by less than an inch. Guess that means no chin spoiler. And oh yeah...I love this thing.

Good looking car! Can you see what color the springs are, sometimes that helps to dinote what company springs they are!

Tips look like really well kept stockers to me. Either way very good looking car.

Better keep checking for mods.............. you never know, there could be a sneaky pete nOS system in there.....one day your driving hit the cig lighter and blast off!! LOL

Great looking hot rod!

Original window sticker says it had SS tips.

Yar, the stocker is stainless. Good looking car. If I ever got a vert it would be a twin of that car.

Guys, this is my first fun car and I'm ate up with it now. I'm not a wrench turner, and don't plan on modding this one to get the most speed out of it. It's the fastest thing I've ever driven and I'm happy with it performance wise, as is, but wouldn't mind a few simple bolt on improvements. I'm 39 and this is a second car. I've driven trucks/Jeeps for the last 20 years. I needed something fun to drive again. I used to put the top down on the Jeep 10 years ago and just drive for the sake of driving. I really missed that feeling. I spent the whole day driving today and feel like a kid again. I don't really have a lead foot, but sometimes I like to get to the posted speed limit quick. Love it. Seriously, sorry for the gushing.

BTW, it has subframes but they look like they are bolted on and are not very long. Is that factory?

Wow you could eat off of that engine. So clean.

I would like to do a few simple bolt ons though. I keep reading about underdrive pulleys...what is the benefit of installing those? I have to have the grille delete and wanted a chin spoiler but my driveway is way to steep. I'm barely making it up as is.

UD pullies are lighter than your stock pullies, freeing up maybe 3-5HP.

Thanks, if it's easy, that's right up my alley.
