Nice work jack! Here is a step by step guide to raising your shaker.

well, i spend 100 bucks on these hood latches, they are far more burly than any hood pin ive ever seen.

the problem is the hood was bad from the get go, it has a small crack that i thought was a small scratch. when i pushed down on the hood it flexed the hood and the crack in the gelcoat just opened up and ran another 6-7 inches. if the crack had not been there this would not have happened.

i think they are gonna send me a replacement. :) at least im hoping so.

Lol. thanks man! he is a pretty kickass baby. he is definatly gonna be a mustang guy like his dad

just be careful not to go to high...you can crack the hood if you do

lol... i already did it. Got it at just the right height. I actually had to raise it quite a bit.

It looks better if it's raised about .5 in from stock (Mach I stock). But the car looks really good man. Nice work.

yah when i got it the height adjustment bolts were all the way tight. Got it raised about 3/8th of an inch, couldnt go much further. As it sits now im pretty stoked with it.

why does your car look like its sitting on stock springs?

cause yer retarded?

lol... i got springs. dropped an inch in the front and 3/4 in the rear.

its those newfangled "Sprangz DD's" that American Muscle sells. Basically FRPP C Springs just a little cheaper.

im really wanting to swap them out for some eibachs


EDIT: Oh yeah, and im parked kind of on the curb there, so my suspension is all stretched this way and that.

yeah... no...


there ya go, now thats the reason.

eibach that that mutha!

Eibach Prokit FTW...sorry I just love posting pics of my car :attention_whore:

that is quite nice.

Lol.. No problem, i like seeing pics of yer car.

Eibach Prokit. Damn, that is a nice stance. Tempting, but i think it would give me hell getting in and out of my driveway. what is that a 2 inch drop?

lol...H&R Race Springs...not too much drop and yer on rails.

I felt like adding a H&R FTW...but I resisted...

except I didn't. :breakdancesmilie:

he's also got 18inch wheels...that helps fill the fender gap, making the car look lower than it would with 17's.

I put some old 17s on when I went in for an alignment and I swear I was an inch lower..I scraped once on the way to the shop :eek: ...granted the tires didn't have much tread left. My driveway looks very similar to what Jack has and I never scraped...yet...just go slow and at an angle

hmmmm.. I haven't scraped at all with mine yet. I'm on stock 17" bullitts and stock shocks with front isolators removed. I love the stance... it's perfect.

look lower. not actually be lower.

Not according to the tape measure I pulled after I put the 17s on

ok ok your car is a freak and so am I. go measure your exhaust tips...are they even?

so what yur saying is that on your car the ride height is lower with 17's? hmm...I can't see it, but a tape measure doesn't lie.

My 295/35-18 are a bit taller and are new with full tread...the 245/45-17's are
old and worn out and look like Bologna skins

a 295/35-18 is 26.1 inches tall and a 245/45-17 is 25.7 tall...take into account the bald tires and the 1/4" in tire height thats about 1/2" and plus my fat ass in the drivers seat ;) would make it about an 1" lower
