Just finished lowering my Stang.Pics attached

bd98gt · October 23rd, 2010, 05:34 PM

Just finished up lowering my car and taking it around the block.Talking about something very easy to do.I cut a full coil off the front and 1/2 coil off the back with no isolators.The back sits 3/4 of an inch higher than front which I'm fine with .I'm very pleased with how it turned out.
Check out the pics in my garage.For some reason I can't get them to load here on the forums.

usually dont like black rims, but yours pulls it off well. drop looks sharp.

I hate to say it but I like the waffle wheels better.

Did you cut them off the top or bottom? Just wondering. I am dying to lower mine. How does it ride?

I cut the bottom on the fronts and the top on the rears.The ride was good just neighborhood riding never getting over 50 mph.The real test will be tomorrow when I put it on 3 different interstates and a toll rode going to and coming home from work.I'll let ya know how it turns out tomorrow afternoon.
I only cut a full coil off the fronts so I'm expecting it to drive and ride good.

Nice stance on your car man.How many coils did you cut?

fastbike02 · October 25th, 2010, 03:21 AM

what size tires are you running, I'm looking for a small drop and if it rides good that will save me on buying lowering coils

I'm running 245/45s on 17x9" rims.
I just got home from work(I put 100 miles a day on it) and it rides and drives VERY good..I actually like how it rides and handles better now than when it was stock height.

Might try and do mine next friday on my day off.

Cool,It's real easy to do.I'm actually going to pull the rear springs back out this weekend and trim them a little more to level my car out.Right now it sits 3/4 of an inch higher in the rear.The suspension should be settled enough by Saturday to see exactly how much it's off.
Good luck to ya on yours and be sure to post some pics

fastbike02 · October 26th, 2010, 01:34 AM

thanks, I just bought new tires and didn't want to lower if it meant I need more. now I just gotta get some struts and some cutting wheels
