my car is dropped 2.5 in the front and 2 in the back as long as you adjust your pinion angle you aren't hurting traction so why would you only be cruising and not racing?

You pre and post measured and came out with 2.5 - 2" drop?

It was a joke on cars/trucks that are slammed. Most people take manufacturer's ratings and apply that. What most (not saying you two) don't realize is the 1.5-2" drop that most springs are rated at, are applied to GT mustangs. The machs are lower than GT's from the factory so they wont' be lowered as much as they claim.

I've seen one mach with that much of a drop. It's just my opinion that it doesn't go well for a performance car. The 'slammed' look that is.

well i help out at a chassis shop so when i got ready to lower the car we measured it before i did anything. and with the springs with isolators my front dropprd 2 in even. we pulled the isolators and got to 2 .5 in. but the car is now on coilovers and tubular suspension. i kept it at 2.5 in for clearance reasons. and even raised the rear up some because i put mega bite lower control arms on which lowered the rear end down another 1.75 in, and double adjustable upper control arms. not sure about everyone but i measured anytime i did something to suspension.

THat's good...most don't.

I'm just giving you my opinion. Some agree, some don't. I had H and R SS's with 18" combo and that looked good to me. I wouldn't go any lower, but that's my taste.

I've seen 2.5" drop and to me, it looked slammed.
