What did you think was going to happen with a 2" drop on a daily driver

Lowered 1 1/2 an I don't care because if u know how to drive u won't scrape... And if u do it does no real damage... Not having the car lowered is ugly IMO...

I have tokico d spec fully adjustable with 2' drop tein springs. I'm not saying this setup is awesome but it's good for the track and definitely makes it look better than a monster truck mustang.

| The tracks a different story. In the late 60s and 70s everyone put the biggest air shocks and fatest&tallest tires they could buy. That fad has since passed.

You guys are kinda right, the "fad" of lowered cars might pass, but there will always be people with low cars for track racing. You NEED that lower center of gravity and stiffer springs.

I remember when I got my car stock I could put both fists ontop of each other under the rear gap yuck.

| Wow, that's about as low as I've seen a Mustang get. You could drive that here in Indiana. You'd be leaving your exhaust in various places just going to the quick e mart. Looks good

I drive the bad roads of NOLA and Baton Rouge. My car is pretty low and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love the handling and looks. Plus if I drive nicely I don't have any problems with bottoming out, really.

Has sloppy suspension and is unstable in the rear. Additionally, Mustang have been lowered since their original inception. 50 year fad?
Now, SLAMMING them? That is a fad I HOPE because SLAMMED cars serve 0 purpose and handle worse than stock.

I like the look of the sport lines but was told the k springs are better for performance .... I'd like to swap the rear springs for sportlines.... But I don't want to lose weight transfer ... If I decide to do it I'll let u know...

Hard starts and quick braking felt like I was riding a bull before I swapped in new springs. Now the car stays nice and flat with spirited driving. I used the Steeda sport springs which are linear rate.
It not all about lowering for looks, it's about improving the suspension to better suite a +300 HP modified car

It not all about lowering for looks, it's about improving the suspension to better suite a +300 HP modified car | I recently added the Steeda lowering springs to my '06 GT. I think they said 1" on the front and 1.2" on the rear. Personally, I love the look of a lowered 'Stang in this body style; the off-balanced stock appearance is unattractive and offers no benefit, imho. However, that said, and even though mine isn't a daily driver I can't imagine having gone lower due to the stiffness of the ride. It's like my own personal little go-kart. Too rough for a daily driver, but for the curves and over all handling I'm happy.

| I have the same springs, after about a year and 2k miles the will soften up a bit.
