One more pic. The next project will be to tint the rest of the windows. Then a new hood. I am either going to get a fiberglass hood or make my own cowl hood (again).

Shhweet. That's the one you just recently painted that Winnebago color right? Looks like a light charcoal color. How much did you lower and which springs you go with? Front looks lower than rear, but can't remember if that's normal or not. Can't decide if I like not having the side molding on the doors, but your car is lookin' good.

It is just like the mineral grey on the newer Mustangs. We cut the springs in the front a coil and a half. We left the back alone. I was going to see how I liked it before I lowered the back. It has a little rake to it now. So, for now, the front is lower than the back. I am undecided on the side moulding as well. If I do decide to put the moulding back on it will be the 94/95 style moulding. That way I can paint it to match the car.
 
If you decide to go with the molding, I'd just make sure your doors are in good shape, that way if they're sagging and you fix that problem you won't have to re-align your molding. I recently had my side molding repainted due to some mysterious bubbling of the paint. They straightened my molding, so I took it back and told them it was going to be misaligned when I fix my door sag.:rolleyes:
 
Looks good, but would look even better with the back lowered an inch. Just put something heavy in the trunk to see how it would look.

Looks good...Looks like teh rear tires are shorter then teh fronts..What size do you have? And yes teh 94-95 molding would look great. I;m not one for SC's without molding

Thanks David. The more I look my car the more I lean in that direction. I will do it probably within the next couple of weeks.

The tires are 255/45/17's. All four. I think the moulding would look good too. Just haven't decided 100% either way. I just think the side of the car is too tall or something.

How much did you cut off the back springs?
On that note, how much did you cut off the front springs?
Did you put the springs back in?!:eek:
 
I cut 1 inch of hight off front and back i should have cut half of that for the back i dont mind the front .

but i scrape my exh on driveways and speed bumps.

I plan on bagging the car to get rid of this problem and bounce my sc off the ground like a lowrider. lol

No such thing as being too low. :cool:

If you want to ride low and comfortable, Air suspension is the way to go.

Take a look at how it is with the cowl hood--I see that you want to put one on. This car does scrape the tailpipes in a place or two around town, but it is not at all bad. I did not cut the springs, this is a Pro-kit. It handles very well--nice and tight. Very nice work on your repaint too.

thats one hot lookin 95 I like em low but the ride is like a go cart but it does corner like a roller coaster ride
 
Chris, I definately think we should cut the rears like Dave said. Maybe 1 inch at most. I'd be more comfortable with 1/2" that way if you need to we can cut them again. The backs are easier because we won't need a spring compressor. I don't know about that side molding. I think it's only good for catching dust around here. How's it riding?

It rides good. It has gotten even lower since Tuesday. I can barely squeeze three fingers in the wheelwell. I agree we need to lower it an inch. Time to break out the cutting wheel. Are we going to need to remove the emergency brake cables to remove the springs?
