If I were to get air how much lower could I go? I'm on ultra-lites now, but combated my lack of low for taller tires(275/35 & 315/35 20's) I'm only at 1.25* up front, what do you guys think?

Going with air, you can drop the car 4 inches from stock, while parked. I normally drive 1 1/2" to 2" below stock.

I'm wondering about my current tires though, are they too big to go that much lower?

My k-member is 1/4" from the ground when fully deflated. I drove with basically no wheel gap with 305/40/18's in the rear and have already bent the fender and cracked the paint. If all you want to do is drive lower, I wouldn't recommend it seeing your pictures.

If you are just going for looks, and are satisfied with your current ride, I wouldn't change a thing. Your car sits perfect and looks great as-is, IMHO.

Spend the cash on something else.

I'd say air ride for the win! main reason I'd go with air ride is i want to be able to raise the mustang when go over speed bumps other locations with out busting my front bumper... Plus looks awesome at events..

Great video Jeremy, and impressive results. Makes me want an air set up even more!

Just curious, can you disclose the brand/model of coilovers used in the test?

Thanks we were pretty impressed with the results as well. Unfortunately I cannot disclose what brand coilovers were used due to legal issues. I can tell you they were not cheap ebay specials. We used a high end set of coil overs from a very well known company.

Yeah, I had a feeling you wouldn't be able to tell or you probably would have done it in the video. Still impressive, nonetheless.

I wish I got paid to do stuff like that for a living...
