Lowering Springs
What is the lowest you can go on 2002 v6 mustang. I am looking at least
2 inches or more. Who has the best springs and the lowest springs. |

I wouldn't suggest more than 2 inches. Besides 2 inches a big drop as it is. You would need more than just lowering springs. You would also need new camber and caster plates, also for a drop that big go ahead and spend the money on new shocks as well. If you just do a subtle but aggressive looking drop like 1" in the rear, and 1.5" in the front it will look awesome. Take a look at AB's car. Also for springs check out eibach, steeda, and C Springs.

2 inches is a big drop, and general not streetable.
for 2", you will need a spring like eibach sportlines, shocks, struts, c/c plates, bumpsteer, and possibly more. look at about a grand for this drop when it is all said and done

If i go 1.5" front and 1.5" rear i should be safe, then i should't have to
buy the shocks, struts, etc. Will the 1.5"inch give it a good look. I was thinking more like 1.5" front and 1.8" rear, would that be o'kay. |

nah dont; let them scare you haha i got a 2" all around speeed bumps are that big of a deal and um yeah i got 17" rims and only rub when i crank it hard. anyways Canuck motorsports based out of surrey canada has the springs you can find them on ebay. anyways if you do gett he drop get some camber plates so you can do a proper wheel alignment. the shocks aren't that big of a deal it's just harder on the stock ones being so low and you'll just wear them out faster cause of the limited travel. my problem is.. i got side exhuast too so yeah now speed bumps are a problem haha cause my mufflers sit even lower. i dunno anything below 2" is getting sketchy IMO cause i was like you meh 2" or lower ..now i'm going wow 2" is alot...... anyways look into the exhuast set up your gettin like long tube headers and all, cause they are gona cause problems if your really low.
anyways go look for some of my posts i got pics of my car in them if you wanna see the 2" drop |

no..i have to really disagree with scubasteve041186
my friends dad had a GT put a 2in drop on it...he ended up selling the springs for 1.5s 2inches isnt a drop...its more like a slam. 1.5 will make you happy and your wallet happy. if your looking for a 2in drop...your not looking at just buying lowering springs anymore, and your also looking at spending another couple hundred. you'll be happy with 1.5 and so will your wallet...especailly if your going for more hp. not to mention good luck tryin to get a jack under the car with a 2inch drop.

Scott, at Blue Oval Corral Mustang, told me to get Steeda springs, he said
they were the best. He also said i did not need the new shocks, struts, etc. He said be sure to get an alignment. |

haha yeah like i said b4 the new springs are just harder on the stock stuff cause it's not made for it. anything less than 1.75" ( i think ) you won't need a camber plate kit to get a proper wheel alignment thats all. just look into what you wanna do. and steeda is a nice set of springs none the less
