Is it possible to give an s197 this stance

[s197shockwave]

Dread53-
I agree with you. I think that because of our solid rear axle, and other things getting our S197 to sit like that can be done but will make the car useless.
I am still going to try and lower my car a bit more but I will never throw out functionality for looks.
Air bags can work and I am assuming thats what the black Mustang above has but the added weight is not an option for me. I am trying to build a fast N/A car and everyone that has tried to do so knows that weight is the number one enemy.

The only Mustangs I have ever seen with that stance is the Termis, and I am sure its because of their IRS.

Maybe a Termi is what I need.lol.

Each their own, but i have stock suspension, Long tube headers and the cervini body kit. I scrape all the time and I live in the city.

But this isnt my daily driver so I dont give a Fu3k if it scrapes here and there.

I think the best way to get that low would be with a quality set of coilovers, just like all the hellaflush guys do. I love having my car sitting low, so next up for me will be the steeda adjustable suspension. I'm not sure how low their coilovers exactly can go, but I'm sure it will be sufficient. The good thing is their shocks/struts are tokiko adjustables and you pick the spring rates that you buy. Nothing would be better than being low and still being able to hook up on the street.

This will have to do for now.

Cut another coil off the rear.
Before some starts to say "it most ride like shit" let me assure you it does not. I can't even tell the difference.

your not worried about rubbing the fender?

It does not rub at all.
I had 22mm offset 18x10s in the rear before with 285/40/18s and those rubbed slightly on major dips but they also came out past the fender about 1/4 of an inch. Unlike the 22mm offset set up these tires and wheels fit perfectly flush.
The tires tuck in nicely when cruising.
Thank God for factory rolled fenders.

You're driving the wrong car.

Anyway I assure you that those slammed cars do not ride or handle well on anything other than a billard table.

 

[s197shockwave]

yo yo yo post yo wide tired slammed mustangs dawg!!!1!

.......opposed to a thin tired raised Mustang? Those look awesome dude! Especially when they have them rad mustang stickers on the side with the horse running.

Tein S techs on 20's will be pretty Low

I love that look and can't wait to see how the Eibach Sportlines look on my 2010 with a set of 20's if not what I'm after then coilovers. I had coilovers on my Lexus and was able to tuck all 4 tires just like in the photos but it had an IRS suspension and the ride was incredible road better than a stock one and thats what people always said when they road with me.

This is a photo of a stock 2010 with just Eibach Sportlines on it.

The next Coil that gets cut should do a play by play. LOL

Thats mean lookin with sportlines, I want to try the S Techs myself. They may be lower, but my FRPP springs ride really hard anyway so I prob wont notice any diff.

You can c notch the back above the axle. To even see if it will get to the hight you want. Pull the springs out set the jack down. Next step break out the sawzaw. Truck guys do that stance every day. My DD ranger tucked lug nuts, and rode good. It as not a drag truck but it did drag a throw sparks. Any thing is possible with the right fab work. Maybe fab a 03 cobra rear end in the car.

 

[esworld05]

Dude ur car looks bad ass like that what springs did u cut and how many coils were cut off I have eibach pro kit by upr but ur stance looks good

 

[anticubicle]

i dont like the leveled out look. should keep some of the rake in it.

Couldn't agree more.

The whole tucked and stretched tire look is fine on the german cars and the jap cars but it just doesn't fly on Mustangs. Hell I even cringed when I saw the Vette.

Again, to each their own but I'd sure as hell never take that kind of chance. One nasty pothole and bye bye expensive wheel.

That's what im running...

 

[5.0Shocker]

That's what im running...

And it looks Grrrrrreat. I going to the S Tech 4 Sho. Is it 2 in drop in back?

 

[rford426]

1.5 and 2.2 i need some 305s or 315s out back I went with the 295 cause I wasn't too sure on how much room I would have but now I know..

 

[Styre]

this is the lowest S197 i have ever seen...maybe it will help. its as low as your looking for...hes a member on our local forum

Is this car on coilovers or cut springs?

 

[Infamous]

this thread makes me want coilovers. i figure i could leave low daily and jack it up when i want to turn a corner or go down the strip.

looks like ill have to measure the incline in my garage and see if i can even make it up the damn thing
