Can of worms incoming...
How much of a drop can I expect from simply swapping to more aggressive springs and whatever strut will need to be swapped in? I don't think I'm interested in coil overs for my Mustang anymore.
It's an itch, ain't it?
My advice is: don't touch your car. If it's set up and rides/handles nice, leave it alone and be happy.
So that said, the only coil-overs you can get are for the front which would be really helpful for lowering the front. I am running the lowest springs right now with the N/V/H isolating bushings ("isos"). It's still got gap.
I need to run with no isos if I want maximum low on spec'd uncut springs -- or coil-overs front and no isos rear. #shrug

Should've pointed out that aesthetics aside, I'm also seeking a stiffer ride. It still has a very cushy feel.
My plan is to do some modest improvements early next spring and then put slicks on it and flog it through the summer. I ran three consecutive laps within .2 of a second last week. I think the car and I are at a little bit of a crossroad, thinking a stiffer ride might help me directly find more grip and help me know a little better what the car is doing
My H&R Supersport springs require a *very* tough damper to master. I won't be able to report back until the end of this year (at the earliest) on how my revalved Bilstein HD's perform.
As always, I look forward to seeing what you find out.
Fuck it.
I'll just toss a blower on there and see where it takes me.
All the way to the end of the straight is my guess, but with a Mustang you can never be sure.
10" wheels and 285s.
since this has become a catchall Mustang thread:
The damned Pick & Pull gets nearly $150 for a transmission these days - that's $100 + $30 core + tax - which is, like so many other aspects about their business, crazy. Back in my day, a transmission was $50 and if you were smart $25 on half off day. I'm going to seriously look at just buying a whole car -

etc.
Are there any valuable parts on a '94-'04 V6 Mustang that would offset $1000?
