Just put on new tires and rims :) and want to drop the ass end. I have 275/40/18 out back what would be a safe drop to maintain safe wheel clearance? 1" / 1-1/2 drop

I have 285/35/20 in the back with the Saleen Suspension System giving me about a 1.25" inch drop. Looks good and doesn't hit. You probably need a larger drop if your only putting in 18...

Dropped front and rear. I think it was around 500.00 (springs, labor and front end alignment at a Ford dealership)

I got stock 17 on mine and eibach sportlines.. drops 2'' (way to LOW)
Stay with the pro, but I got the springs for 110.00, relocation bolt
for 35.00 and installed for 240.00.
