I think its badass... Might not be the best for racing... but would be awesome for a dailydriver... built for speed with maximum comfort

Hey dude chill! I wasnt putting you r your car down. Just as my post states what was the pros and cons vers handling and performance. Ive been in lots of cars with modified air ride suspensions and they road like a POS and handle like a POS. The only thing the air ride done for them is made the car move up and down. I am glad for you that it work,s and it does what you want. I do agree with you a Mustang does have a harsh ride some what. But at the same time I didnt buy a Stang for the ride of a Towncar. The down side I see to it , is there are lots of those cars around here that pepole have taken the air ride off of because the pumps have failed or the airbags have gone bad. All the cars in the salvages have been picked clean of there parts and nobody wants to pay OEM prices for new parts. There a black Lincoln running around here that used to set down the ground because the air ride broke on it. Now the car sets about 3-4 above regular ride hieght becuase he modified it and put coil shocks all around on it. Again good luck and Iam glad it worked for you. I just hope you have a good source for your parts becuase they are quiet expensive from Ford.

"Let Me Know What Yall Think" You asked, Remember YOU asked. I think you need a head exam, I also think that you should have spent that time an effort on a S-10 or a full size GMC. In my book you tried to mix Soap and Oil.

I love every one here, but you asked.
