This shot shows how the tires protrude while still being flush. I love it.

The front coil spring.

The drop in the front. Only 1" but looks lower with the taller tire.

The rear wheel at a close up.

A complete side shot. The rear still sits high but trust me, when compared to stock it is definitely lower.

They are a staggered set. 18x10 in the rear and 18x9 in the front. Tires up front are 255/45/18 and the rear is 275/45/18. The tires are Nitto 555.

Ford Racing Springs.

I have since tuned it from 87 to 93 and installed 4.10 gears and the C&L Racer intake. Wicked now (to me since I know some of you guys are pushing twice my HP haha):clap:

Also installed Hawk Street Pads Front and Rear. Stocks on a dime now. The combo of tire and drop REALLY changed the handling. Feels like a completely different car.

The rear still has some room to settle with some more driving. The springs have been on less than 24 hours.

Love it! And yes I think you have quite a bit more settling to go in the rear. I am on FRPP K's with 275/35/20 rear which is basically same tire height as you, and notice stance in my sig pic. Edit, see you are on P's not K's.. but still think u have more to go

Nice, are you going to upgrade shocks/struts/panhard bar?

Struts only when they fail. Panhard bar is next :)

It didn't go off center that I could tell but I would love the piece of mind of knowing I can adjust it if need be. Plus, any excuse to buy more toys.

They definitely need settling because the OEM spring and the 'P' spring were IDENTICAL in height for the rears when out of the car. So, I assume it will settle some soon.

The 'K's are only a half inch lower, so I do believe mine will settle, just not quite as low as yours obviously.
Are they AM RTR knock offs? They look REAL good. Much better than SVE drifts.

They are the AMR Charcoals as they're listed on Americanmuscle.com. I'm new to Mustangs so I am not sure if they're supposed to be a knock off of something.

Yeah, hopefully it will settle. Mine is only a 1" - 1 1/2" drop fully settled but mine never looked that high.

Two things.

The rear settled a bit more. I don't think it ill go down much more without prolonged weight in the back.

Second, I replaced the "GT" emblems with 'Autobot' badges. Couldn't help it.

I'm sure it will still settle a bit more. Still weird that it was that high. I took measurements before and after just to make sure when I did mine.

What is the best way to paint them? I see painted calipers all the time cracked up and the paint peeling. I want to paint them high quality. I may just shell out the outrageous cash for the red caliper plates that AM sells.
