Installed the StangSuspension Series II springs(1.75" front/1.5" rear). Also installed Steeda Heavy Duty upper strut mounts. Install was super smooth with no hitches. Helps when bro-in-law works at a garage and has access to everything
I love the way it sits and the few miles I've driven it so far it seems pretty close to stock. Just need to get it aligned in about a week.






Driveway isn't level. That's why it sits so odd.

Cool man looks great!. I'm trying to keep the thing relatively high because I live in Houston and the roads are downright crap here (read meant for trucks) So i'll install the roush rear springs in the next few days hopefully I'll have some pics to show too.

At least it's more erect and not floppy anymore.

That's pretty hefty drop. I only dropped mine an 1" with the Roush and I worry about things scrapping. I'm sure you're all too aware. It looks real good though.

I will definitely be careful driving around avoiding as much as possible I know I will be overcompensating and parking too far out from curbs! I will get out tomorrow and measure the front clearance. I drove 60 miles up 95 last night and it feels absolutely great at highway speeds. The few bumps I encountered where construction was being done, it got a bit bumpy, but it held the road and wasn't bone jarring.

I wonder how much that affects gas mileage at highway speeds. I know a good drop can be worth a tenth or two in the 1/4. The chin spoiler and drop should have helped out at least a little.

as far as MPG, but does make sense. However my next mod will also increase the amount of air flow into the grill so that may counteract that. I will see what effect it has at the strip, but will be impossible to tell when I go with UDPs, aluminum d/s and stickies

I haven't written my mod list down on anything on the internet. Where are you getting it from??????

Since you're stealing all my mods anyway , here's what I have planned for the next two months for my '07.

Drag wheels/tires (done)
Tokico D-Specs
Eibach Pro-kit Lowering Springs
Black FR500 wheels 18x9 front 18x10 Rear
Nitto 555's
Custom painted CDC Classic chin spoiler
Custom painted Agent 47 Mirrors
BMR LCA Relocation Brackets (already purchased)
SHR Grill inserts (on the way.. btw, they're for sale now)
SHR Billet fuel door
Sequential tail lights
Aluminum driveshaft & loop
Underdrive pullies

I think that's all I have PLANNED so far..

That stance is absolutely perfect on your car, the only thing you need now is tint and you'll be set Honestly, it really does look great though....i'm a fan of the chin spoiler and gt500 wing, i like how they kinda flow together.
