you want to make your car look stupid? This kid up here at school put gas shocks in the back to add a couple inches of wheel clearance and put 295/60's on his ten holes. It looks so stupid all jacked up in the ass end. That look only looks good on old muscle cars. leave your fox nice an clean.

foxes look good when they are a little bit lower in the front than the rear. A few inches and 295's are far from suddle.

Mine, just kinda sits naturally a little higher in the back after control arms and a little bit taller tires (255/50/16's mt et radials)



Heres TT91's old car, had a nice stance

How's this look? Mine is lowered in the front with Ford Motorsport "B" springs and I have Air Lift's rear airbag kit in the rear to clear the 295-50-15's and to keep them from rubbing. I like the look and get compliments on it all the time.

^ Thats how his car looked, but his was an LX, crap paint job, nasty faded headlights, red interior, straight up BLAH. Your car can have that stance because its just done right and exemplifies its era. When that car came out, that look was cool. The aero foxes shouldnt be treated like a muscle car of the 70's. Your cobra is sick and is one of my favorite 4 eyed cars. BTW

Thanks. Yeah, ya have to have the right look. To put 295's on 10 holes wouldn't do anything for me either. It's all in the backspacing, wheel choice and paint job.

I really like the stance on that car, just slightly higher in the back. Just as long as it doesn't look like the a$$ is sagging.

That was taken in Middleboro, Massachusetts. Look at the gas price. I paid $3.35 per gallon of 93 Octane. This picture was taken earlier this summer. Those high prices have a LOT to do with Taxes in this damn state. They don't call it Taxachusetts for nothing.

Hey, at least you can GET 93 and higher octane out there. The best I've managed to find anywhere down here is 91, so I've had to bump my timing back to 12* to keep it from pinging.

I haven't got any pics of mine since I installed the control arms. But, I'm running Suspension Techniques springs on all corners with adjustable STEEDA upper control arms and MM adjustable lowers (increase or decrease height)....I have a very mild 'rake' look, now. Love it!
