I'm running 225/55/16 front and 245/55/16 rear.
It's a bit lower than that now in the front. That picture was when I adjusted the height but after driving for while, the front got lower. I'm going to raise it just a tiny bit. I haven't touched the rear. it's still got about half an inch wheel gap.
I wonder if the car will look like the older mustang 5.0 with the rear dragging down if I lower the rear more.
Overall, it's starting to ride nice. i like the handling and i think i can manage the harshness the springs give.
The only problem now is the front noise when steering at low speeds or parked.
Like mentioned above, I think it's the springs or the pillowballmounts.
I'm gonna synthetic grease those...

Thanks guys.
Im gonna raise is just a tiny bit on driver's side. Even it out with the Pass_side.
I'm having problems going in/out of driveways no matter how it goes, it scrapes. Also the Driver's side rubs the fender bad especially when turning left while hitting a bump or going up/down driveway. Imagine on a highway going like 65mph. I think that'll destroy that fender.
I hasn't snowed yet. we'll see how this goes..
Awaiting on the SS braided brake lines.....
THe lip is the stock lip. The wheels are some mesh that I doesn't have any name on them. They're 16"x8" I think they're perfect. The offst could be a little better but they're not so bad...

Thanks!
You're right SpiritedRx7
I think I'm on 25 offsets.
As mentioned. Did the brakes..
New rear calipers, ss lines, master cylinder and issue came up that I might be replacing front calipers as well. I've a thread up for it.
Then later on some slotted drilled rotors. . . who cares, they look cool haha.

Thanks!
As mentioned...
Replaced the lines to SS and. . . . . .unexpectedly ended up replacing a whole bunch of brake parts. Worth it though. Feels like new car braking.

I had issues with the rear coilovers rubbing against the hub assembly and wearing through the metal boot. You might want to check that out on your car.

I called Stance and reported it and said I wanted new boots sent to me and they said they wouldn't because no one else reported it and that I installed them incorrectly...

Which Teins do you have?
I had the Tein Type R A . Didn't have the problem.
The Stance are 'beefy' that's why they rub.
see pic.
There are other guys in here experiencing the same issue.
And they are not installed incorrectly

Yep.
I wasn't really comparing, but I just wanted similar handling/Comfort level as the FD. I know that different cars will handle/ride differently using the same coilover/specs. 14k/14k rates on FD is fine, but it will be crazy on FC.
7/5 on FC !
