    Boys,
    I have finally decided to start driving my 500. So one of the things I wanted to do is lower the car one to two inches.
    The ass end looks way to high so I,am looking to lower that and I,am riding with 20" Shelby Razors currently.


    Question you may have:

    I will use the car for sport driving only, no strip or track running.
    Just driving around town , kicking it sideways or a trip or to.
    Thanks for any suggestions,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Billy

    I used Ford Racing lowering springs and a Steeda adjustable panhard bar.

    Thanks,
    I had The Mustang shop of Chandler AZ put Ford Racing springs on.
    It dropped the front 1 1/4 and the rear dropped 1/ 1/2 inch and the ride is a little firmer but it looks 100% better!!

    Sounds like what i'm doing to mine. I'm lowering mine with the eibach pro-kit struts, springs and shocks package, along with 20 inch foose nitrous legend wheels. Does yours rub anywhere, it looks like it would be real close.

    No rubbing anywhere. The Ford racing springs are little hoppy and I really like the stock ride better but I wanted the ass end lowered??? WTF...

    Billy Ray, are your wheels 8.5 in the front and 10 inches wide in the rear, as that is what size my Foose wheels are. My tires are 255/35 in the front and 295/30 in the rear, Toyo Proxes4.

    The wheels are from Shelby Performance in Vegas...looked great!!
