Default Lowered Pj?

Happy New Year to all! Just a quick question, has anyone here dropped their PJ (other than for strictly track duty). If so it would be nice to know the particulars and results..thanks in advance.

A (somewhat) local guy has put Sportlines on his. Looks incredible, although he reports the ride being fairly harsh.

BMR's Progressive Rate springs
Steeda's Sport springs
Eibach pro kit

These all lower the car 1-1.5" from stock, which your saleen springs have already achieved about that much. I dont know if they are even a better rate for you but these are all springs i have used and can say have a nice ride and appearance on mustang GT's

What specifically will be "messed up"? How much will it be "messed up"?

change in the drive shaft, diff pinion angle for sure, and control arm angle.

I'm not sure what effect it would have with a watts link in a pj but in a standard car a adj panhard bar sould also be used as the angle of the panard bar changes, pushing the diff off center.

So in other words there would be no ill affects...

Default PJ Lowering?

Very interesting feedback..thanks to all. I will obviously have to do alot more homework on this subject. I would have liked to drop the car another 1.5-2 inches and probably gone with the Eibach myself. However...hmm..lol..I have even more questions now than before..thanks guys..lol.
