Arrow Changing RIDE HEIGHT

With two inch drop springs my mustang is riding 7" high. I would like to bring this down to 5" and wanted to know how the road racers are doing it.

Springs only go so low and that leaves control arms. So how are you lowering your mustangs to competitive levels to increase downforce?

Where fo you get 7" high? Measure the distance from the top of the tire to the fender. With springs you should be as low as you need. If you have the $$ you can opt for the air ride suspension. Airride technologies has good kits. This is what I should have put on my car.

You can try a coil-over set-up but if you try to go any lower than a 2 inch drop I don't really think that you are going to be able to drive the car in everyday conditions without causing some serious damage to the body panels when you start to bottom out. lol

Look at that run on sentence... lmao

You could try the ford racing handling packages and it pretty cheap too.

You could always try some lowering spindles
