My 06 Mustang is saleen charged now.. WOW! and it added a bit of weight to the front end making the rake just about right where I want it to be now that I have 20" tires and wheels... The issues is the rear end of the car is 3-4" off the back tires making it look like it has air shocks back there. I have new Ford racing shocks and springs coming that are supposed to lower the car an inch all the way around but I need little to no drop in the front and 3" in the rear.

How do I order a set of shocks where the fronts are stock ride height and rears drop 3"?

Chris

PS when I stomp on the gas the entire car, especially the front rises in the air, will struts and springs help with that?

Shocks don't lower or raise your car springs do, I don't see how adding a Saleen blower can actually affect front ride height so much. The whole kit can't weigh more then 200lbs it would lower the front minimally.

ride height

Forgive me if I have mis-explained my situation..

The back of my stang sits 3-4" up off the back tire. The front is about where I want it. I am getting new Ford racing shocks and want to know who makes springs that will retain my front ride height along with rear springs that will drop my car 3".

I've head of many people putting Roush springs in the rear only to do what you want. You might search for that.
