Auto Parts: 99 mustang GT, low profile tires, alignment adjustments

Question
I wanted to lower my mustang a little but I dont want to overdo it, or exceed the alignment adjustments.  so I'm looking for advice on what a good drop from stock would be.  I see many spring kits that will lower 1.4 to 1.7 inches.  I just dont want to have to use camber kits. any help would be appriciated.
thanks

Answer
    If you're just lowering it for looks, then choosing the mildest set of lowering springs from Eibach or someone like them should do the job.  You  shouldn't have to replace any of the alignment parts if you do this.  Those kinds of things are intended for folks who are also trying to get the last little bit of handling power out of the chassis by using non-stock alignments and extra-wide low-profile tires.  One way of lowering the car without springs is to switch to a lower profile tire in the same width as the stock one.  The car will sit lower, but the tires will also look smaller in the wheel wells and a lot of people won't like that look.  Most lowering kits start with a drop of about 1-1/2 inches.  This gives you a noticeably meaner look without affecting much else.  It will give you slightly better handling because you are also lowering the center of gravity.  Of course, if you find that you like the improved handing and want to go a little further, then you can go to larger rims and lower profile tires, install the camber plates in the front (they really aren't that big a deal), buy some better shocks and struts (Koni, if you can afford it), and a pair of thicker anti-roll bars.  These cars can be made to handle so much better than when you bought them that you really wouldn't think it was the same car.  And, you still have the nice, comfy, familiar interior and won't scrape going into the parking lot at the drive-in.  One thing you learn quick when you start fooling with handling is that looks and handling are not really connected; you can't see most of the stuff that makes a car handle.  Then... it'll be time to take some instruction at the local race track to learn how to use all of that new-found grip.  Actually, you can improve your handling the most by doing just that: improving the nut that holds the wheel.
