Thanks, Im glad they are different.

Although I like the look and style of the bullitts, and cobras, and what not. I didn't want them just because every stang I see has them lol.

Looks pretty good. Is it just the angle of the first pic or are the back wheels set in quite a bit? Maybe a spacer and/or little bit bigger tire in the rear.
Nice horse too.

Nice look wheels man, they give off a kinda FR500 feel...dispite what Spin says i've not seen one other person driving around Tallahassee with them...and even MineralGT has the Chrome one's i got hyper black...I just love the thin spoke look...nice...

As for the drop I think it's 1 1/2'' in the front and 2'' in the back...

Shows 1 to 1 1/4", I dont run my car autocross or anything so Im lowering just for the looks. I need more than an inch lol. Any input on intrax? They are supposed to drop a 5.0 convertible 2" and I can get them for $250. I had intrax on my old car, had a 2" drop all the way around and it was awesome.

Yea its more like what it says on the site. Its the perfect drop imo, no scraping except for larger than normal speedbumps.

I'll have to find me some pics of cars with different springs on em and make a decision.

The way I think about springs is "if im spending all this money on springs I want people to look at it and KNOW its lowered" Sometimes if a car has an inch drop it just handles better and doesnt "look" lowered. So I dont know, Ill just have to see em before I buy. lol

Yes, but remember, sometimes when you drop it too low, it handles like crap and rides like crap, which is pointless. Just a though, you can tell my car is lowered, maybe even go with the H&R sports, they are great springs as well.

I went with Eibach Pro Kit. 1.25" drop and it was just right.

I have had great results in performance and looks with Intrax. Im surprised nobody has spoken up about them. Not too common in the stang world?

Actually it looks like you'll have to change a lot more on your suspension to get the car to ride right and allign correctly with a drop as extreme as 2 inches. I guess I'll look into some Steeda Sports or something
