Lorne, the car is a beauty. We love our Verts, and have an '18 GT Vert on order now. I don't want to rain on your parade, but the last I checked (approx. a week ago) there are no aftermarket lowering springs for the Mustang Convertibles. And, the coupe springs won't work because of the extra weight our drop tops carry.

Enjoy that new baby. A beautiful day with your bestie by your side, top down, and riding down a lonely back road is the best blood pressure medicine known to man.

Thanks Jim! excited to hear about your 2018! You may want to check out BMR or Eibach. Both have lowering springs that are compatible with the Convertible. Here is the link to the Eibach Pro Kit for Convertibles...

Well dang, I got the info about the springs from the AM sales book. Admittedly I only looked at the AM lower priced ones, and I was really looking at them for my '06 GT coupe. But, it's good that they do have them.

Beautiful car Lorne!!!!::cheers:

You will be very pleased after you get it lowered. BMR min drop, I think, is the way to go for our verts....:thumbsup:

Thanks Derek! Super Excited to get the BMR springs installed. I just received my corsa exhaust, waiting on the springs, some shifter parts and a few other mods. Started a build journal for V2... looking forward to getting everything installed in the next couple weeks. Hopefully the weather will start warming up! 21 degrees today!

I really loved the darker deep impact blue on my coupe, but I have to say that the Lightning Blue is really growing on me. It morphs into so many different shades of blue. Sometimes it gets just as dark as my DIB coupe. I've already received numerous compliments on the color..
