ride quality will go down 10% it all depends on if you live around alot of bad roads or not.... its not a total ending of ride quality cuz the mustang never had any to begin with, the good out weight the bads.

A much stiffer and better handling ride than the stock suspension. Much more control compared to the stock flimsy stuff. The only downfall is that you feel more the road.

not as much nose dive in corners, with shocks/struts/springs expect 15 - 20% better feel in the corners.

Tires make a huge, huge difference in handling also. If you still have the stock tires or the same tires as stock...throw them away, they're crap lol. I should know..I'm on my second set in 53000 miles and they're all 4 bald, and I've never done a sitdown burnout....

i have installed 8 sets of C springs every set has droped side to side perfectly even ( well with in stock specs of what is even .1 or so) if you cut the full rear dead coil it will be a bout .2 higher in the rear, which is what you want.
