lowered?


This may be a stupid question, but does my car look lowered a little bit? The small dealer I bought it from didn't know and I don't have a stock car to compare it to.

Maybe a little but you should go ahead and drop it some more. Give the ol' stang a meaner stance.

I'll probably drop it more and have it lower in the front.

There's about 4 inches from the top of the tire to the bottom of the fender. (At least on mine...). That would be an easy way to tell.
