? bout lowering a SS/SC

Ok I love that my front lip makes it over the concrete parking stops and I really dont want to loose that. However the ass end of the car is to high for my taste and I would like to level it out. So my questions are...

How much do I need to lower the ass end for it to be level? Also, if I just lower the back do I have to cut anything or anything extra? Will the front lip hit side walks and such now because the back is lowered? I want it as low as I can go without hitting sidewalks and such, I dont want to crack the lip or tear **** up!

Thanks

My car is on Eibach Sportlines and the car just clears most sidewalks, curbs, and parking blocks. I don't like to get to close cause I don't want to mess things up but there are times where I have cleared sidewalks, curbs, etc.

So a 1" front 1.3" rear drop should still clear sidewalks and such?

Eibach Pro-Kit. On the SS/SC it doesnt drop the front, but it drops the rear .5". The springs give the car a more aggressive handling then the stock springs and also helps reduce body roll. Also it drops the rear so it levels the car out. I just put the rear springs on tonight and tomorrow ill put the front ones on. Didnt do it tonight cuz i didnt have a spring compressor. But my buddy scott that drives a 99 GT stang insists that he can swap the front springs without a spring compressor. Ill let u know how he makes out on my car tomorrow.. lol.

Before-


After-


Stock-(persuasion is in the background.. lol)


Eibach Pro-Kit- Sorry forgot to rotate...


ooo.. sooo clean..


And a new decal for under the hood..





later
