Hey guys, long time listener, first time caller.

Just bought my first fox body, and the stance is a mess. I need help figuring out what to do next.

The front is slammed and looks pretty good.

The rear however looks like a dog running around with it's butt in the air.

My friend put what he said were "stock springs" (from Craigslist) in all 4 corners, but the way it sits looks way too high in the rear and way too low in the front for "stock".

The gap between the top of the tire and the wheel well is about 3 inches.

Would lowering springs alone help, or would I also need adjustable lower control arms?

Love to get your thoughts.

Sorry for the tree. Couldn't get a good angle.

Could be, budget helps advise. Eibach pros/ford B's with a good midlevel price kyb etc shock.
That'll put you at about 25 inch front lip and 26 wish rear. Try here and ask back about what you see..

Eibach springs will fix that. But ultimately, a Fox Mustang will need the entire suspension overhauled if it's stock. (based on age) One part at a time is fine.
