It sags a little in the rear as most Pro-kit's do but overall it's much better than the 4x4 look after the rims/before the springs.
..and yes I need rotors ;)

A little sag in the rear is preferable, helps with the weight distribution IMO. Looks nice, what did you pay for the kit and install?

I got the springs used from here, $145 shipped.
Install was free(a friend helped me). :)
Weird thing is though the right rear sits lower than the left rear. My only guess is that the guy that had them before me beat on his car lol

No, you need to install an adjustable panhard rod now. When you lower the car it throws the rear axle out of alignment. Once you do this you'll find things even out a bit more.

Yeah, I was thinking that too. I have one on the way and LCA relocation brackets too(I have the brackets, BMR shipped me the hardware kit yesterday).

Yeah, you should be good to go then. Another thing to consider though, is with miles and lots of hard launches the bodies/frame flex in that direction. My 3rd gen with an Eibach pro kit, panhard bar, etc, but no sub-frame connectors had the same uneven fender to wheel/tire gaps...the lip of the hatch spoiler and fenders were not even either, abuse flexing. :)

The more I think about the more I don't think the panhard rod would help that. I thought the rod keeps everything straight as far as left to right. I could see if one wheel was sticking out more out of the wheel well but how would the rod help the actual spring height/look.
Not arguing or anything but I'm curious. :)

Wasn't me then, I just got the rims a few weeks ago.
Thanks for the compliments guys! :)

it looks a lot better without that big gap above the front tire
what kind of wheels are those? they look like the ones that come on mustangs.

Yup ;) They're Bullet knockoffs with the offset for a Fbody :)
