Overall, im very happy with the springs and shocks, the ride is not bad at all, its actually pretty smooth, plus, i have the tokicos set to the softest setting, and i dont think its too low, and honestly, lol, its not low enough if u ask me haha, but a big plus, these feel great, and its USED, i cant even imagine how'd they feel if they were out the box.

Looks good, if you want to fill up the fender a little more get some taller tires like 255/50/17s, that will give you another inch of fill. I have 255/45/17s and they fill better then the stock 245s. Next time I get tires I'm going with 255/50-17s.

aren't the spring rates different between verts and coupes?

take out the front isolators, it will help bring that down a lot.

i dunno

prolly is, but it seems fine to me, and, as far as bringing it down, would it still need to re-settle once they were taken out? cause these were pics about 10 minutes after we finished.

i had sportlines on my old black '01 gt and even with the isolators removed, it was still higher than i would have liked. in my '02 i have h&r ss springs with the isolators and it is perfect.

also, i wouldnt got with a taller tire. a 255/50/17 is a to tall for a mustang IMO. maybe for a track tire in the rear, but not all 4

I had sportlines on mine and scrapped everything. With 285/40/17s I could only just squeeze two fingers between the tire and fender. It was low. Now my Pros from Eibach are way too high Everyones Sportlines looked taller than mine. Dont matter as I dont like linear rate springs anyway
