c/c plates are a good investment whenever lowering a vehicle.

I already had c/c plates when i went to mustang lower control arms, so i don't know if they or necessary or not. TC springs should lower about .5" or so. I run 275-40 in the rear and 245-45 in the front. I think i'll try 255-45 in the front next time i need new tires, but i dont know about the 285s in the rear. I'm running 17x9s all the way around.

on cool cats eric says the TC springs  will lower 1-1.5", bduly, what did you use to lower your car? i like the stance on yours, i am only wanting to go 1-1.5". i am going to run 17x9 all around also, was just wondering if any body has tried the 285's in the back

I was only guessing on the TC springs, but I hardly got 1.5" with Koni lowering springs. Now I'm running suspension techniques springs, but I am thinking of going with mustang springs in the front to get it a little lower.
