Default ISO Recommendation for SF East Bay Shop To Lower 05 Mustang

Any recommendations for an East Bay shop to lower the rear section of my GT AT A REASONABLE PRICE? Also, would it affect the warranty to have it lowered?

I'd like the rear even with the front.. 3-4" lower?? I guess. Thanks

Is there a performance spring shop? I'm sure you could find a CarX, Midas etc. that would do it...

Are you getting new springs or cutting the stock ones?

Your warranty should be fine... chanses that something break in the rear end that Ford could blame on that mod are slim...

Midas? That easy huh?

What's the benefit of getting new springs instead of just cutting the stock ones? thanks!

Yea, they do a fine job for an okay price... Unless you're going to have a full race set up... but for springs they'll be fine! The rears are very easy, the fronts a bit more involved but still easy if you have a spring compressor. I took mine off and took them into CarX where they put the Eibachs on for $40...

If you cut them they are cut... no comming back! Also that only lowers the car for looks and you'll get the rougher ride with no better handeling! This was up a few months ago and you should be able to find it with a search... lotsa physics I remember... lol
