What do you guys recommend I'm leaning towards the H & R sports or race springs.. I like the stance of the race without iso's is there any issues with running w/o the isos? Also would the sports to be too low and bouncy for a daily driver?

I have ridden in a few lowered cobras and they all felt nice. They also feel and look good in the stock trim.

Those look nice. :thmbsup:
Looks great! I had some Foose Nitros and it would take me an extra hour trying to get the rivets clean on all 4 wheels. But they sure look great! :thmbsup:

wheels look great. but take my advice, youve got it easy. white is so much harder to keep clean comparied to when i had my black vert. i basically wash it everytime i park it, lol. water company loves me!
thats odd.. in the cars I've owned.. white and silver have been the only two colors that "look" clean.(10 ft. away)..... My black car.. by the time I dry the rear of it.. its time to wash the front again..lol..

I think white is so hard to keep clean. After two minutes of driving I can't touch it without leaving clean streaks on it lol

i don't think i would advise yanking the iso's. with those out of my car it made alot more suspension noise and just felt like crap overall.

Running Steeda sport springs front and rear. No isos in the rear and no new noises from what I can tell. Taking the fronts out to put the stock cut springs back in to drop it a little more

Stock springs or? Get a pic up when you can
the race springs have (to me) always had a nice stance

Looks Good ! Will probably settle a little bit more. Too bad they dont come from the factory that way. Fords ALWAYS had a 4x4 look :laufhing:

The ride quality is great just like stock except I have to be careful over big dips...in that case it will want to bottom out :( Either way I'm happy with the ride.

So it didn't get any stiffer? I was expecting them to be more aggressive
