Kmagn, it says there you dropped your stang a full 2". I've seen alot of people say never to go lower than 1.5. Of course that's not low enough for me. So what springs did you use to get the full 2 and how does it ride and handle? What else is required for that kinda stance?

Is there anything wrong with lowering the car more than 1.5 inches? Clearance issues?

All I've read says more than 1.5" gets the supension in a bind,struts/shocks need changing,need offset rack bushings(paraphrasing)but you can do it if you match it all up.Shop and read the fine print..shop more than 1 place to get more fine print...You can do it,just be sure you do all you need to do to do it

You can go lower with the Steeda Bumpsteer kit and the x2 ball joints which drop it an additional 0.5 ".

It's still functionally a 1.5" drop.

Dropping more than 1.5" without adjustments will drop the roll center in the front (which is already below the ground_ to approximately hell level, while the roll center in the rear would still be above ground.

Steering get's totally unpredictable, and the suspension cannot articulate well.
