Nice....H&R sports gives that effect. It drove me crazy!!! The back was a perfect drop but the front hardly looked dropped at all. Waited about a year for it to completely settle, ditched my front springs and picked up the Super Sports.

I like the drop Matt, that's my taste. Not to high, not to low for a stock looking Stang.

Let me know how your NXT holds up. It gets very very mixed reviews on the detailing forums. It gives a decent look for OTC, but usually only lasts a month or 2 at the most.

I assume it was the liquid version?

Well I like Mothers FX better than NXT. Its easier on and off, provides better shine, and it seems to last longer. Only reason I went with NXT is because some bastard used all the Meguires Gold Class at work and I didnt have much of a choice. It was NXT or some OLD *** eagle 1 nanowax that ive had for 3 years. Overall its a pretty decent OTC and yes it was liquid version.

I still have my stock struts and shocks. im not going to eat em away by slamming the car. When I get aftermarket shocks and struts, ill probably remove the isolators.

Yes, in the front it has one that looks like a donut and other is a tube per side. In the rear has one like a donut and other is like a top hat per side.
