kinda lowered the TC today

well,  i installed the rear springs from a 99 mustang in the rear today,  it actually brought the car down to near level.  i can put a 3 foot level on top of the door mld and its still got just a slight tic up in the rear,  just right.  thay are so jacked up from the factory. I like it now.

not sure i agree on this, the lowering pics do look great.
i find it not so appealing when you see some cars going down the road though with the rear end wayyyyy low because of rear seat passangers or perhaps there are just groceries in the trunk.

a car should be capable of being loaded down "within reason" without effecting the rear ride height.

on out 20th coug and 88bird sport, we added those dog bone rubber spacers to the rear coil springs just to get the rear level with the front.

ive never considered lowering all the way around though, i suppose id does work out well when your never off concrete with your ride.

i cant say what it will look like loaded. i just drive this car back and forth to work really, it never carries anyone but me.  my wife hates it, says it rides too ruff.  but she said that even before i lowered it!

I have the same springs in the rear. I used a coil-over sleeve kit up front.

yes so far all i have is stock turbocoupe suspension, with 99 mustang v6 springs in the rear.  i have the mustang front springs, but it would make the car too low for the 225-60-16 tires, i would have to drop a size
