I'm looking to lower the stang this summer. I know if I go with more than a 1.75" drop I'm looking at c/c plates and alignment? The car's got just over 117K on the clock..so I'm guessing the factory struts and shocks have to go and I can't just do springs. I'm looking to get rid of the factory 4x4 but don't want to be tearing my car up on speedbumps and potholes. Can you make a recommendation for a good setup for an aggressive stance and the best place to buy from?
Thanks,
~A.C.

from what i understand its not beneficial to go more than 1.75 it think it is? but you should get an alignment any and every time you do any type of suspension mod. and cc plates are a good idea anyway to counter the increased negative camber your springs will give you. going lower than 2 inches will have you bottoming out on severe bumps. . . wont it?
