I think vinnie needs to work on his pic posting promptness.  It's severely lacking.

Before......



After.....


I can't tell a lot of difference,although the Stang springs were an inch or shorter to begin with.Can you guys tell a difference?I haven't done anything to the rear of the car yet.Upon further study of the pics,I can tell a difference.

I see a little less black in the front wheel well. Maybe an inch? What all did you put on it? I'm too lazy to go back and read through everything.

I installed replacement a-frames with new ball joints,new strut mounts,SN-95 Mustang front springs,and had a good time doing it.LOL.

Does that really do a whole lot for handling? I have wanted to set my car up for more than a straight line for a long time but wasn't sure what would work on our cars since they are a bit different from Mustangs.

The car handles great.Once I get the rear control arms,it should really hold.I want the Sport to be a good all around car.I don't do that much straight line stuff,and I'd rather it be more street worthy.I can go in a straight line no matter what.LOL.The SN-95 springs did lower it a little,and as I said,it still rides great,not rough at all.about the same as before,just not as tall.Eventually,I'll grab a pair of better struts,but I'm waiting to install my bigger front brakes,then the ChuckW rear shock mounts and better rear shocks.

I can't wait to really start tearing into mine. Hopefully I can get my car as nice as yours a few others cars have become. I really love these cars and I think this is the one car I have NEVER wanted to sell. I like to go back and look through some of you guy's buildup thread to get ideas and help. Once we get my wife a new camera i think I am going to start my build up page.

i'd agree that the front has dropped around an inch.  the rear, like you said with nothing done to it yet is the same.  but yeh a little less a little more than an inch or so.  definatly looks a bit like its got a rake to it too.

its gotta be said again.  GOOD LOOKING CAR. :bowdown:

Thanks a lot.After lunch,I'm going to start getting the trunk back into "new" condition.I have a VERY nice factory rubber trunk floor mat,nice panels,and a chrome 17x9 rim for a spare (needs a tire).I also have to figure out how I'm going to mount a small tool box with the basic tools needed and a few other small things (jack,tire iron,etc) without them looking bulky and in the way.Everything has to have a place and look like it belongs there.I have replacement carpet as well.I also will check to see if I have shock extensions on the car.If so,I'll remove them as well.I want the car level.
