^im picking up a mustang Mach 1 lip. Another member here did it and looks great. The fit is perfect!

For tires I'm going to go with a set of hanooks in a 245/45. Should look great!

I'm already lowered on Canuck Motorsport springs...just need a half inch more in the rear. Gonna try to remove cut a coil or I may just pick up some spring compressors that install permanently on the spring. Just need a half inch so I should be okay. I don't drive aggressive...just something ill have to keep on eye on. The front sits low enough.

If you cut out a coil on the rears, it will remove the small tapered mount from the coil that holds it centered. Then you would have to build a custom perch mount to keep the spring centered up somehow.

I saw that mustang lip, it was very nice, let us know when you find a good place to buy one. Yours looks pretty great now cant notice in the pic its not level. Mine has 1/2" difference, I think they were meant to have a little rake.

Yeah I know I'll have to do something for it so right. Gonna take it all apart Xmas week and see what we can come up with. I'm eventually going to get coilovers or bag it, but I've got too much going on right now and need to put up some cash for other things.

Throw a bag of cement in the back, that'll drop it more.
