Wheel travel is about 3 inches, Im going to change the rear springs, they came with the car, and now that Im full weight(darn near, I have gas in tank) might need to swap. Wheels are 18x12 with a 335/30 I think is 25.9. The guys at 417 Motorsports killed the wheel arches.. there is Plenty of room..

Stance is spot on. What's your overall wheel diameter in the rear? How much travel do you have? I really would like to bring my car down lower, but I worry I won't have good travel.

Math says 'yes' on that 25.9 number for the height.
417 Motorsports did very well on the tubs if there's 3" of compression travel there.

Yeah they pulled all the metal out custom tubs and built a 1/4 lip.. its super nice

he TA is super close, the interior is at Upholstery shop, I get it back in 2 weeks, my SUPER awesome body/paint guy is helping(well doing it for me) building some panels for the floor, as I cut the rear passenger floor in 2 places to tuck the 3" exhaust, and he has all the fancy tools and knowledge, while its there he is gonna fix my scratches and such while I was putting together, so I can finally assemble. Headliner is in, All the weather stripping done, Im super close on this one being finished, it runs, has all the fluids, need to do final bleeding of brakes, so I anticipate beginning of Dec all done.. ready for GoodGuys in March, so I can knock out the Mustang for Goodguys in March as well..
