Thought I would post some pics of the SHO seeing as how I never put pics of it up after we finished the suspension swap from my wrecked 95 to my current 94. This was done back in January, with the help of 93rev2sev, bubba, HunterVf, and SHORacer14. Thanks guys, I think she has a good stance.

The SHO rides as nice as it looks... Comments?

Looks good, how's that stance compare to before with the stock springs?

This was the day after I got it home, notice the rear of the car, a little SAS going on. Worn out stock Motorcrapt...

The day we met, a better shot of the SAS...

Back when those sensa-trak's w/stock springs were on my 95. It may not look that different, but the main differences are in the way my 94 handles with the Eibach's vs. the stock springs.

Looks good. Hows the handling, ride? I have some Eibachs but havent got struts yet.

It feels really good. I've been told it feels kinda like a stock mustang, but it gets progressively stiffer the harder you take it into a turn. I like it. :thumb:

I have the same setup!! It rides freaking GREAT!!! I also had to put new end links on, they were rusted pretty good and snapped when I was pulling things apart.

However, mine is getting bigger sway bars and new adjustable control arms soon :)

not to mention the sho source cat back and samco hoses and udp and and and.. ummmmmmm... and a lot more :)

It does ride great! I swapped my metal rear endlinks over, my old ones looked like it would be soon they were going to break. The front plastic ones were replaced Moog greasable metal endlinks. I have been building up my wishlist on SHO-Source... when I get money I plan on getting a few of those things...

Second question: Did you get an alignment done? How did the drop affect this? Did you have to break the spot welds?

Thanks :D

Yep, I did. My front camber was out a enough that I need to get the Ingalls Adjustable strut plates. By about a -1.2 to -1.5 degrees on each side in the front, the camber is out. I have been keeping an eye on my inner tire edges in the front, not seeing any abnormal wear yet. Lost my job before I could buy them. Thats one of those things on the list to buy as soon as I get some cash.

i have the same set up in my 91 as well... OMMFG it is FTW.

me and jessemachone installed it in his driveway two nights ago. it required minimum adjustment when i took it to get aligned.

visually i wish it would sit just a little lower, i'm hoping it settles down just a little more.

next step is gonna be new Front LCAs to replace the ball joints, and installing the urethane swaybar bushings i left up at toms house.

fyi, a little extra toe-in will offset a little extra negative camber, and keep the tire wearing normally. I think all of my Gen2 cars have "too much" negative camber, but I get by with dialing in a little extra toe-in.

lookin' good, Boat! Now all it needs is some exhaust. I think I know a guy that can hook you up with some, too. :biggrin:
