Uncle Meat said:Personal opinion here.... Does the Cobra/Mustang look like a 4X4 when riding on the stock wheels & tires...yep! Do Cobra's & Mustangs look better when lowered? Yup! Will I ever put springs on my Cobra? Nope! I want to be able to go in and out of driveways and over speed bumps at something more than a snails pace without having to worry about scraping. I think once you add lowering springs you start losing some drivability. Add a set of LT's to those lowering springs and now you have to either swerve or cringe at every pothole in the road.
For me drivability is worth more than looks or handling.

Apples an oranges there buddy.

What clearance are you speaking of? I'm talking about the clearance between a Mustangs mid-pipe and the ground, not the tire clearance in the wheel well. If guys want to put 18's or even 20's (like on the new 05's) to fill up the wheel wells that's cool because it doesn't affect ground clearance. I'm specifically referring to lowering springs. Ask anyone who has lowering springs + mid-pipe and/or long tube headers + stock rims/rubber if they scrape on stuff. If they say never they are a liar.shadowland2000 said:Please explain. I want to understand why Mustangs have to have a 4 inch clearance while BMWs can handle 1 inch. Are you saying it's a matter of cost?

Yes.MangledAxle said:When you go to a larger diameter wheel, shouldn't you stay relatively close to the original tire diameter?
Right again.MangledAxle said:If this is true, then you're not filling up any of the space in the wheel well.
You are correct again sir!MangledAxle said:Also, if you can go with a larger diameter tire, this does affect ground clearance, it actually will increase it.
Stock mid-pipe or aftermarket?32v svt said:I have the eibach pro kit on my car and the look is great .It will scrape the exhaust every once in a while .I have had them for 2 years and no problems so far.
No, but you will need to get an alignment once the springs are installed.2003BlackStang said:Will i need caster chamber plates with the KB sport springs??
