what kind of wheels are you running and whats the full size of your tires... No doubt your wheels are more than likely the wrong offset.

Im currently lowered on Eibach Sportlines.... yes, its low

shocks and struts will not soften up your ride... I know all about the C springs... I used to have them. I took them out and replaced them with Eibach Sportlines, and I wish I had done it sooner.

its a common misconception that mustangs fit 4 people... because they dont.

I never have, and never will have more than one passenger in my car. I removed my back seat for a roll cage. lowered your car will rub like a bitch with two 200lb people in the back seat... so dont do it.
