I decided to take some pics today since I got my car back this morning. I recently installed H&R SS springs w/ new isolators, MM CC plates STB, MM FLSFC's, MM 4pt K-member brace, new quad shocks, and Bilsteins shocks and struts. All I can is it feels like a completely different car , it handles like its on rails. My car doesn't shake anymore when going over bumps or uneven pavement . It rides nice and smooth and I can take turns at higher sppeds. The ride is an absolute NIGHT and DAY difference . Next to come is some LCA's and a panhard bar. Now off to Custom Alignment tomorrow to get aligned.

AFTER: I think it's a 1.25-1.5" drop all around.
Let me know what you guys think. [ May 16, 2006, 01:25 AM: Message edited by: CLEEN 50 ]

Yup, its coyote point. . No rubbing as of yet, tried it at full lock, over dips, through corners, etc. I want to take some better shots. I'm going to get it washed up tomorrow and put my cv boot on it and hopefully get my halo headrest installed (if I can figure out how to install them ) Maybe I 'll be able to catch some nice sunset pics tomorrow. Heres some more pics from today.
Thanks guys for all the compliments. [ May 16, 2006, 01:57 AM: Message edited by: CLEEN 50 ]

Nice set up man, it looks great. In my opinion, H&R springs with Bilstein shocks/struts is hands down the best set up for Mustangs. That's what I have on my '94 GT and I love it. You definately made a wise decision with that set up.
