Plus you can't beat the $10 full serve wash, they vacumn the inside and clean it too. On black cars you can't really be too picky because it does shows everything. You just have to tell them to make sure all swirls are wipe out nicely. Otherwise you see everything from swirls to hair line scratches. Next time I do it I'll check the height from the rails and just estimate it adding a couple of inches from the rubber under the air dam.

What springs are you going with?

Because you also have to be aware of the cats hanging down fairly low especially with an aftermarket mid-pipe

I have H&R Sports and the "U-bolts" on my exhaust hit bumps quite often.

I'm planning on installing H&R race springs w/ isolator kits & MM caster camber plates. Thanks for giving me the heads up on the xpipes. That's also one of the future mods I'm planning, Bassani x-pipes w/ cats to be added. I got Bassani cat backs right now. I just hope it won't be too low that I won't be able to bring it to the full service car wash. It's just really convenient to take it there than wash it myself. They wash all kinds of fancy cars there too, I see Vettes, Mercedez, BMW's all the time. Thanks!

I hear ya

With the race springs and isolators you really shouldn't even have too much of a problem as that set-up hardly lowers the car but 1"-1.25" maybe less with the isolators.

By the way if you are interested and have yet to buy them i have some brand new rear isolators if you want them let me know

Here are a couple pics of my buddy's 03:




H&R Race springs, no isolators in the front and the bottom isolators in the rear

To people that had their Stangs lowered. Does anybody had problems going through a full serve car wash? A buddy told me he can't bring him in cause it won't fit the rails for the car wash machine. I always bring my car to a full serve car wash now since it's only $10 where I'm at and they clean it inside and out and I'm thinking of dropping it. So just want to know if it'll create problems on lowered cars. Thanks in advance!

Are you considering not lowering your car just so you can continue to take it to a car wash??

I always wash it myself at home, using only high quality soap, microfiber mitt, and microfiber towels.

half the fun is spending the time getting your car looking great and then showing it off.
