[QUOTE="speedoflife, post: 15543023, member: 153267"] I did not know that the car was already lowered. Another user recommended Race springs as I have, but you will be the one to make that choice in the end. I hate scraping the car and not being able to get in/out of basic parking lots/driveways. And I really like a stiff ride. But if you don't mind the decreased responsiveness/handling, you will get a lower center of gravity from lowering the car more (I.e. Sport springs) and a sweet, low look. For subframe connectors, I'll quote someone who knows more about these cars than you and I combined together will ever know: "Anyone that thinks an SN-95 vehicle doesn't need or doesn't benefit from a FLSFC is a fool!" sauce: [URL]https://www.svtperformance.com/forums/threads/why-subframe-connectors-benefit-your-mustang.629163/[/URL] [B]Subframe connectors should be mod #1, plain and simple.
