You realize you are driving a budget sports car with huge production tolerances? One set of springs will sit one way on one car and another way on another.
very true luke but its a good place to start..98% of all the cars ive lowered worked out great with that basic setting..

also this car is a vert...heaviest of all stangs so if anything this car would have lowered more than say a coupe any year.. so just cut half coil off front and take out iso's...i bet you will be sitting nice! car does not even look lowered right now...lol i dont see how you could be happy, i would want a refund! haha

I have sportlines on my cobra and I scrape EVERYWHERE (but i also have the irs) I scrape on grooves in the road and anytime i pull into a drive way or parking lot if there is any kind of incline even the slightest i have to go in at an angle. It looks great having it low but if i could do it again i would probably get the pros instead. But i think i scrape mainly because of the IRS

If you look at the picture my mufflers (i think it is the mufflers, anyways the lowest part under the car) barely clears the ground

I think the prokit SUCKS! I had it on my Faleen when I first bought the car and the car just sat way too high...I didnt even know I had "lowering" springs in there until I finally took them out.

I say go with H&R super sport springs...I think those give most mustangs a nice stance...

how'd you get your 95 to tuck so low? I got sportlines on mine and it still doesn't sit low enough, theres still a big gap in the back/front far lower than it used to be but could go a little lower, I also have pro kit springs on my 89 coupe and that thing still sets pretty high, any suggestions?
