Alright so I just bought 18 inch black bullitt rims for my v6 but i read somewhere that its not going to look right if i dont get the car lowered as well. My question is, can I just buy the springs and thats it? Or do I need to change the struts/shocks etc too??? oh and if anyone has pics of their 05+ mustang with 18's on them that arent lowered could you please show me how it looks.

oh...and i'll get the full 1.5 or so inches of drop with just changing my springs? cause I've read that you basically have no choice but to change the shocks,struts, and cc plates if I change the springs becuase the stock ones won't hold out good with the new springs.

You'll want to change struts and shocks eventually, but you don't have to.
