A buddy of mine has a cobra and ever since I bought my 03 gt, has told me to lower my car. I'm actually thinking about it now. A few questions though. What will it do to the overall ride? I buy all my stuff from americanmuscle.com so which springs would be the best for the buck. Do I need anything else besides the lowering springs? And most importantly how difficult is the installation? Thanks
Thinking about lowering my mustang.

The ride is a "bumpier". But really, who drives their stangs on crappy, bumpy roads. It helped tremendously in the canyons though. I am sort of a BBK fan....that was my choice...and am very happy with them. But, you can never go wrong with any Steeda product.
I had a shadetree mechanic install them for me....too many broken jaw stories for me to tackle myself. He charged me a $100 for all four corners. Love the "look" it gave my car. DO IT.:bigthumbsup

You can borrow one from Autozone. It's a must for safety. You will need to add some negative camber so new adjustable strut mounts are a good idea. www.stangsuspension.com has a good selection.

I purchased the Ford Racing Springs and they dropped my car 1.5 inches all the way around. Yes to the Spring Compression tool as STLWAGON suggests!!!! You will need a camber adjuster as well afterwards for your front tires. They will lean in on the top. I dropped my rear tires ONE at a Time. This kept the rear from moving L/R.

Yeah i just had the Ford Motorsport Springs installed on mine a couple weeks ago and it lowered it 1.5 in. in the front and about 1 in. the rear. And look into getting caster camber plates for the front alignment.

spring compressor? please.....just lower the lower control arm slowly with a floor jack...p.s. just stand to the side just in case, never know..lol we have done a bunch of these never needed a compressor. but if you have never done springs before you might opt for one.

the back ones you will not need a compressor at all , just put car on jack stands and jack up other side of axel as far as it will go up and pull out spring on other side with hands....pretty easy
