Thanks guys - the I think the "low profile red with white stripes" is a good combo for this car. It is a blast to drive with the top down - the extra sound is really good.

Ordered the Eibach lowering springs, 1.2" up front and 1.8" out back - it will remove the goofy space between the tires and the fenders, especially in the rear. Looking at getting a panhard bar as well. Should be in shortly and I'll install them as soon as I get a chance.

Good spring choice. I have had them on 3 of 4 of my mustangs with the Steeda springs being my first set.

Thanks - good to get additional confirmation on the Eibachs. Man I can't wait to swap them in.

Nice looking. I have an 09 and went with the Ford springs...I think they are similar drop to the Eibach. I, however, think I need 20's now as the 18's look to small. LOL! I also did some suspension mods and engine mods. I have about $4700.00 into the car with mods and labor. Still have wheels, gauges and probably a s/c swap to come. I want to peel the paint of this thing! LOL!

I had an 04 too and I like this alot....would have liked to go into a 2010 or 2011 but, the numbers were up there and I was impatient. Me had to have a car now! LOL!

I like vapor and black stripes - looks good. The eibachs, drop both ends a bit more and also remove the raked look, rear is lowered 1.8" and the front 1.2" so it's even and just a bit lower than the FRPP springs.

I bought the springs (a while ago) but still have not installed them. Long story but ended up putting it off to get a new compressor and jack and have not taken the time to put them in yet. I'll get to it in September and take some pics.
