Yeah I've heard that using the stock shocks with any lowered springs will cause more chance of scraping cause as you say the ride is less stiff and more bouncy. Hell my mustang in my opinion has a terrible ride anyway, I figure at least I want it to look sweet with a tight drop and stiff shocks for better handling.. As high as mine is it feels like it wants to float right off the turn whenever I take a turn at even slow speeds.
As for your mach, there sure is nothing wrong with the raked look and don't get me wrong I thing it looks great. My wheels in my opinion look far to goddy (I guess is the right word). I bought the car with those wheels already installed. The dealer wanted to add on 1500.00 for them. I told them to stick the wheels up their %&$$#! LOL... I agreed to bring the car back to them so they can swap them for their stock mustang wheels...(16 inch). They forgot to document this, so they never made me return for the swap... so I ended up just keeping them. I want to sell them and get some Torque Thrust 2 Wheels either 17 or 18 with at minimum of 45-265 .. I would like to run the same tire front and back so I can rotate them... 285 in rear would be awsome if it weren't for the inability of being able to rotate.. That is unless I put 285 in front as well, but that would probably be a rubbing issue waiting to happen.

As for the gap in the rear of the Mach compared to the front, the rear has 18 inch rims and the front 17 inch. I think I can make the front gap look less severe when I change the tires from 255/45s to 275/40s. I went with offset rims for a raked looked.
