Nice pics! Black is sexy for a mustang!

Those are my favourite stock wheels for the S197's and I am a fan of the two tone interior of the CS.

Very nice pictures! Your CS reminds me of when mine was stock. They are so beautiful from the factory. I like your friend's SE-R, too.

That they are! It's stock appearing, but certainly not stock.

JLT CAI, Bassani catted x, bassani race mufflers, CMDP's, 4.10's and a Chris Rose tune. She's an awesome daily!

You know, I really did love how much mine looked, but I loved it even MORE when I lowered it. Absolutely one of the best mods i've done to date.

The stock Panhard bar bushings on mine have all but deteriorated at 22,000 miles. Once I've gotten all the suspension pieces I need, I'll get it all on the car in one foul swoop. Definitely looking forward to that!

Well-done photography of your beautiful black car. Good ones of the other one, too; tell your friend I'm sorry for him. (big smile)

I swore I wouldn't lower my black one: it's a boulevard cruiser, not an autocross or race car, and should stay comfortably stock in that respect; however, since I saw what even the FRPP "P" springs did for the coupe, I'm sorely tempted...

I really feel like the stock suspension on these cars is inadequate. I definitely understand the desire to keep the stock ride height. However I really feel that ford did a disservice to the car by equipping it with shocks that can barely handle the car's weight and spring rate as it is, combined with ultra soft bushings mated to flimsy control arms in the rear and weak upper mounts in the front.

It creates a lot of creaks, goans and thuds on rough pavement and makes the car feel like a boat IMHO.

Staying with the stock springs but replaying the panhard rod, lower control arms, shocks/struts and upper mounts for the front will certainly make the car better in nearly all respects while keeping the stock driveability through towns, inclement weather etc.

It's too bad that it took ford another generation with this car to get that stuff figured out. Us 05-09 guys are stuck having to upgrade parts.
