Still trying to decide on what I want. I know there is a thread or two like this but I'd like to see if we can get some fresh pictures.

I'd like to see pics of the race springs with NO iso's and other race spring combos the most. SS springs with stock iso pics would be good too.

Show off that drop

H&R SS with MM isolators all the way around... I wouldn't go any lower if you plan on FLSC, as is I can't get the lowest profile jack under my SFC without driving up on boards...

Wow finally someone with H&R SS with MM isolators all around.....I have been asking here and looking forever for pictures. I take it that you have the MM poly isolators on the top and botton of your springs front and rear? I ask because some guys are running odd combinations of stock or MM isos or no isos at all. I have the springs and isos waiting to go in. I think your car looks good.:burnout:

Yes, MM iso's top and bottom at all four corners. I couldn't imagine going any lower based on the issues I have just doing routine maintenence. I have access to a maintenence lift, and barely fit the arms under the car or a racing jack as is. Glad the pics help.

Thanks 03yllwguy!!! I wanted to see the SS's with the MM's. That's the perfect stance. I hear the SS have clearance and bottoming out issues and i bet those MM isolaters fix that.

How does it ride? Any problems with theSS springs being softer? I don't want to have HUGE problems getting over speed bumps.

Also, is that MM iso's UPPER and LOWER on FRONT and BACK? edit: I see that was answered.

ps, what's flsc?

FLSC=full length subframe connectors...
I've ridden in lots of non 03's with lowering springs that truely diminshed the ride. not the case with these. Car rides slightly firmer than stock. I am pretty happy. I want suspension mod crazy on my last stang and said i would not do so on this one. The springs are perfect for asthetics and daily driving IMO.

Great looking 10th, and the faster color as well! With the roads around the Houston area, I like the hr ss. Plus the fact that I am running bbk long tubes. :banana:

Everyone seems to have varying results which is weird. 04 mystics with the race springs and stock iso's sits mint IMO, but then pdogkilr's looks the same having SS and mm iso's.

Well, it certainly won't cost you anything... and just as a point of fact, my before and after measurements, and my NOW measurements, i don't have a perfect drop on left side compared to right side. Is this a big deal? no, but interesting...

I'm just going to do a bit more that 3/4 on each spring and see how it settles, if I don't like it I'll get the Race springs as I intended. They're on a 2 week backorder EVERWHERE! So it'll give me time to do it and see how it goes.

H&R Super Sport springs with Maximum Motorsport front isolators and stockers in the rear. Wheels are BBS RK Plasma, 18x8 front with 275 Yokohamas and 18x10.5 rear with 315 BFG Drag Radials. Enjoy.

Your car looks bomb sonic. How is it on shit roads and speed bumps? jus' wonderin if those MM iso's get it up a enough to make the SS's work better on rough roads then with stock iso's.
