Oh.my.5.0 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 I have a 94 5.0 mustang gt and I am wondering how low to go before I start scraping. I want to lower it cause it looks like a truck now but I really do not want to have to constantly worry about scrapping things. I mean if there is a couple extreme cases every once in a while that's fine but I don't want to have to take angles on everything and not be able to go over speed bumps etc. like I said lowest I can go before scrapping is common. I think 1" isn't low enough but 2" maybe too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prokiller Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 1.5" is probably the most common. at that level you might or might not need caster/camber plates to get it back into alignment. some cars do, some don't. my previous 94 was on eibach prokits and it scrapped every once and a while but was fine under normal driving.

ttocs Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 I think it depends more on the roads in your area then anything. I had problems scraping on spots at stock ride height when I was in AZ just because they build the edge of the new roads at a sharper angle for run off and because of that there were spots I had to be careful at even before it was lowered.

95riosnake Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Eibach Pro Kit is your best all around drop for a car that can still be driven without being a pain in the ass. Like Ryan said, you may be able to get away without getting C/C plates. I went ahead and got them when I did springs but some people don't. Also, not sure how many miles your car has but I would definitely do some nice aftermarket struts and shocks while you're at it, since they will be better matched to a performance spring.

Moderators Psychorugby Posted February 21, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 I may or may not know a guy that may or may not have a brand new, never installed H&R Super Sports and Bilstein shocks and struts that may or may not want to go a different direction.

Excellent setup. Had it on my car for a long time. C/C plates will be needed, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh.my.5.0 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 So with a 1.5" drop on a 94 gt I won't be scrapping frequently? Maybe once in a while, but not often? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prokiller Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 it all depends on your roads, but doubtful it will much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh.my.5.0 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Ok thanks, I live in sw Florida but maybe moving to South Carolina, and I'm from upstate ny so possible I might end up back there. And so 2" would be too low I'm assuming, scraping would be more common with that than 1.5 and probably be more of a pain and have to constantly watch out where as 1.5" you just have to have it a realization you are a little lower but not constant worry?

Blackmage Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 mine is pretty low, driving around in wisconsin i really dont have any issues. lowest point of the car is the k-member. Be concious of what youre driving over and how youre taking entrances and exits of parking lots and you'll be perfectly fine with whatever you do.
