JDM Engineering Achieving a Proper Mustang Stance

[Nick@JDM]

Most have probably seen how the 2015 has a "reverse rake" where the front looks higher than the rear. We made some subtle changes to our otherwise stock Auto to give it a proper Mustang stance.

Lowered front and stock rear for now. We will see if that changes once the wheels are swapped out.

Is the before-after 5.0 shots supposed to be obviously photoshopped? (the photos with the red truck in the background)
Edit: nevermind, I misunderstood photos.

I like it a lot.

How much lowering on the front?
What was mechanically done to lower the car?
Springs and alignment?
Spindles?

Are you running the car with 18" wheel's?
The rake looks just right. Put some 19" wheels to fill gap in fender well and there ya go. Very nice looking guy's.

Correct. We will be swapping out the wheels/tires soon and adjust the height accordingly if necessary.

Keep you all posted.

For any spring companies looking...Offering front "Drag Springs" may not be a bad idea for the S550.

Hey Nick, I'll be swinging down to talk to Jim Jr. soon to do CAI and Tune on the 2015, and do a clutch line and suspension work on the 2014 GT500(he doesn't know it yet, so tell him Fred says hello and Ill be reaching out to him soon), hopefully I meet you when I'm down there...

Regarding the stance, I agree the car looks like it squats and needs a little more rake. I am going to try and fix that with a 20"R & 19" F wheel change (I'm driving poor Paul over at Need 4 Speed CRAZY), like on the GT500's. I'm trying to avoid the whole spring change...I like the approach you are trying, and somewhere one other did a split spring Pro in front and Sport in rear to achieve the same thing, so its nice to know Im not too crazy!
