Anyone have any shots with a typical drop (Eibach pro-kit for instance, ~1.5") without larger back tires or spacers?

I've had the front springs installed for awhile now but have been hesitant to install the rear springs for fear of how it will look without big tires or wheel spacers.

Anyone have any pictures, should I install the rear springs, I kind of like the raked look right now so I'm ok either way I guess.

Your opinions? bigger tires/spacers are out of the question at the moment... I can barely afford to fill it with gas right now unfortunately.

So do I install the rear springs or not, how bad does it look without spacers or wider wheels?
(Btw I have the 17" factory upgraded rims, 245 width).

Yeah ....go ahead and do it, no matter what size tires you have its going to
look better, from a side view you cant see what size the tires are anyway.

I have H&R SuperSports... When I first lowered mine, it didn't look too bad but it still looked weird. I've seen Mustangs with skinnier tires than 245 and those look really bad.

This is after the drop and before I put rear spacers on...







This is after I put the rear spacers on. Much nicer.
