1.5 or 2 innch lower question

6686Mustang · February 8th, 2012, 08:44 AM

I'm picking up parts for my 86 5.0 restoration - The car will remain 90% stock. I do like the look of the car lowered. I intend to keep my 10 hole rims. What do you think - 1.5 or 2 inch drop? I see the springs are reasonably priced. You can get a set for under 225.00. Like I said - not looking to race, just like the lowered look. Thinking 2 inch may be too low.. Opinions? Thanks!

I'd reccomend H&R SS springs, 1.75 drop in front 1.5 drop in the rear. Be aware tho with lowering you should get new struts and shocks as well as c/c plates to lower it correctly

+1. As for the height, go 2" for a good lowered look.
