Yeah, after the T5 swap, we noticed she was sittin a little higher in the front.  Then the new wheels just made it way worse.  Put a set of stock 2002 Mustang GT springs in the front and lowered her just right.  The rear springs are still stock at the moment.  I'll probably keep them as-is for the time being.  I like the slight bit of rake.

I see it now. Yeah that looks a lot better. The T5 really is a lot lighter, I think it only weighs 75 lbs. :hick:

Yeah, you're right.  All the weight that was dropped resulted in the car sitting a good bit higher than stock, and the bigger wheels just multiplied the effect.  Now with the Mustang springs, she's back where she was before the swap and wheels.

Yeah, so your springs were already set up for that weight.  Mine were set up for the AOD, hence the horrible ride height it had after the swap.  Oh well, it's fixed now!
