Finally Dropped the stang
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

So I finally got around to getting springs and installing them.
Here's before:

And Here's After:

I left the isolators out of the front and kept them in the rear.

I ALMOST left the stockers in the back.. but I thought this might be TOO much rake:

Looks good. I agree with the rake -- it looks better flat. If you go up to bigger rims, then the rake might look good.

What springs?

Posted by: Xerxeese

The rears are Ford C springs.
The fronts are Suspension Techniques

Got them from PJ (Thanks again PJ ! ! !)

Looks great Jay!
We need better pics!!!
I love the stance that Spring set gave me, I just had to go lower after I took off the sideskirts.

Has the car finished settling?
Did you measure the drop they gave?

Haha, didn't I photoshop those on your car once??

Nope, wrong wheels, but I think it's worth posting again.

Ok.. I noticed she settled a bit more.. There is a SLIGHT bit of camber. Dont know if its enough to warrant CC plates, but its enough to warrant an alignment soon !

Posted by: badass98svt

Jay, you may not need CC plates. I never had them on my car with those springs.
What you CAN do is drill out the rivets that hold the stock C/C plates in place. Drilling out the rivets gives more room for adjustments using the factory stuff.
After you drill them out, take it for an alignment, I bet you'll have enough adjustment.

Makes a WORLD of difference. The ride isnt harsh at all . When I lowered my 99 mercury cougar, I used Roush springs, and the ride was super harsh. That was one reason I was waiting to drop the stang. I wanted a good ride.

I told you those susp Tech springs had a smooth ride!
