When you lower the front end and don't adjust your struts, you get negative camber that usually (depends on the magnitude of the drop) cannot be corrected using the stock plates. Driving around without fixing the problem causes pretty severe uneven tire wear.

alignment shops cant get my camber in the green zone so i get uneven wear.


dude your car looks 100X's better congrats

most get it for looks. i got the deep dish so i could run more tire in the back to help grip the road.

Looking good! Are the wheels 17s or 18s?

pretty much it is for looks, especially in a stock V6, but if you get into autox racing or anything like that , more tire usually is better, you just have to be cautious of how much weight you are adding vs. how much tire you need for the HP/TQ levels you are at. You see alot of DD in the back/ Regular in the front in the online mustang communities, but not so much in person.

Yeah, they are for looks now, but since I'll be keeping this turd for a good while I'm planning on slapping on some FI later this year..lol

oh soo very true. That would be awesome.

Yes it would be, lol. I'm going to finish up the suspension first, then complete a few other things before I start saving up cash, detailing business should pick up quickly in the summer so that's what I'm banking on to be able to afford it.

The only other performance things I plan on doing before that are the J-mod, vmp xcal2, 8.8" rear (yay posi) shocks/struts/cc plates, and exhaust (just a Y pipe, once I get an S/C I'll get long tubes and have staight pipes going to the mufflers)

As far as having to get a bigger hood to clear the blower is concerned, that's what makes me kinda sad..I like the way the stock hoods look, but maybe a 95R hood would be ok, or a steeda cowl..I want to keep it as least-flashy as possible..it is a v6 afterall.

Springs just got in
Attachment 23328

Going to be putting these in tomorrow morning..any advice? lol

stanger00 02-15-2008 04:22 PM

take your time and get the spring tool from a auto parts store just to be safe. i never used one but im not very smart.

the strut bolts are a bitch to break loose

and the rear axle can be a PITA to get back in alignment with your lower control arm. i had to kick mine into place while my buddy took his sweet ass time to put the bolt in.

Steeda97 02-15-2008 10:24 PM

Good luck with the front springs haha.

PColav6 02-16-2008 01:55 PM

Springs are in, car looks badass and handles way better now. I'll get pics tomorrow when they've had some time to settle.

It wasn't that hard, took us about 5 min to do each rear, the fronts took a good while though.

And the camber doesnt look bad at all, but I'll see how it is in a few days.

Cobra 02-16-2008 07:25 PM

Awesome man, Looking good.

TUFF 4.6 02-16-2008 07:34 PM

Here's a couple of pics with the springs in, on the driveway. Left all of the iso's in for now. It's going to be raining today so I'll wait till tomorrow to wash it and get some proper photos.

There's a guy in my neighborhood with a saleen, and he stared at my car when I passed his house..he was probably like "damn that's awesome....oh wait it's just a v6."
Attachment 23322

Oh well, I have cooler wheels than he does. lol

zigzagg321 02-17-2008 08:57 AM

Yeah man, it feels like the wait was an eternity..whenever I go by the front-door I gotta take a look outside at my car to appreciate how much better it looks.

Can't wait till I can afford the next few mods...stuff from here on out should come easily.

And to think it used to look like this (2006)
