    Mavtricks, Your car sits "perfect" now in my opinion . I also love the way it looks . But I believe it is the only car I`ve ever seen with with front drums and rear discs :p

    The after picture looks way more jacked up than the before picture. Weren't you trying to lower the back end?

    i also bought the rear leaf spring helpers

    i went to advance and bought the leaf spring helpers for my car 2 1/2 years ago. and it still sits nicely, also i hear alot of complaints from mustangs about wheel - hop but thats just not the case with my car i think the helper springs helped in that area as well because i added some traction bars recently and them took them off..(no difference, because it never had it anyway, but i thought it might do even better...can't fix perfect.any heres a pic of how my car's stance is but not great picture

    Thanks for the info, guys. I think the stance of Mavtrick's car looks great as well. I'm not so worried now. Three inches is way too much but I think an inch or so would work fine.

    :cool:

    That's one sweet Maverick by the way...

    Rear disc, front drum

    I now have four wheel disc. I did the conversion in the reverse order. What can I say, I like to be different! If you want to see it the way it is now, visit the club web site and check out the pics from this years Roundup!
