[OrangeMustangGt]

hey guys, i need to get some pics of some lowered cars. Im trying to decide how much to lower my car, and what brand springs are best. Please post up pics of ur lowered cars and springs. here is mine, i did cut the front, rear is stock, i want to lower it so it looks good. thanks!

wtf? yours looks perfect.

I have stock rear springs and you wouldnt believe how high it sits.

from top of tire to fender its 4 in the rear and 3.5 in the front
Its cause my car's weight I guess

You car looks like its sitting fine, might just be the angle though. My car looks twice as high.

It does look OK but I bet it rides like a log wagon.

Just read his sig and you will see why it fills the fenders so well. He has " 18' ". Eighteen foot rims are huge!!


Your car looks like it's sitting pretty good from the picture. If you want some choices fro springs there are FRPP C-Springs, EiBach, H&R, Saleen, or custom ones from a dealer of your choice. Also, it all depends on what you want the car to do. Handel great all the time, Be stiffer than crap for Road Racing, or squat and launch like hell for Drag Racing.

OT, what do you all think of the rims I got? I love em but my freind told me yesterday I should have gotten cobra's so now im having doubts.

 

[swingline]

Red X's.

 

[BlueOvalStangGT]

on mine?

 

[swingline]

Not now....

Does it matter what others think? They look nice but I like the 03 Cobras the best.

I see you like to take pictures in the woods too Kinda looks like its near a river or something actually

 

[Badlilstang]

Damn it looks lowered already to me.. Sits as low as mine does and I have the Eibach Pro kit. I almost bought those wheels for mine too!

 

[rio95]

there is no way that is stock. if it is, they are saggin' like crazy.

 

[rio95]

or your tires are not stock dia. what size are they??

 

[mustangmatt685]

same color, saleen full suspension, its a nice stance, not too low, but it looks REALLY mean, i cant post attachments because im computer retarted, but heres my website: http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/503535

 

[GTPhreak]

[h0oligan]

LOL, I don't think there is a place in Florida that isn't near a source of water of some kind.

I'd have to say that I personally would get something else if it were me, but that's only because I like 2K Cobra R rims so much. The ones in the picture look pretty slick on your car. What kind are they? I like them for the simple fact that you don't see them on every other Stang. I'm sure the regular chrome Cobra R's would look good on your car too, but there would be about 50,000 other Stangs out there with the same rims.

i hear that cutting the springs makes the ride terrible. go with 2" lowering unless you have big speed bumps or driveways that angle up off the street.

this is 2" MaxSpeed lowering springs ...

yeah, that is the stock rear springs, and i cut the fronts 1/12 but it is really saggy in the front now. Im thinking of i want a good 1-1/2 inch lower, those 18's are only about a 1/2 inch taller than my stock 16's. i put em side by side, the tire just has a larger sidewall. What brand would be good for that, say some fmsprings? i really think i want something progressive, but do i need that? i like how that steeda car looks, maby ill go for those! keep posting thanks i duuno, here is another angle
