  I get where you're coming from on lowering the car, but if it's still supposed to at least pretend to be streetable, you can't go to low or you'll drag on everything. At least it's one way to cut weight off the car, to increase quarter mile times, by scraping it off on the road.

  I agree - it seems the FRPP handling packs drop is just perfect with less than an inch back (to preserve the rake) and a hair over an inch in the front.
  
  Do you all have any detailed driving impressions on how this improved handling Vs the PP etc?

  Sure do @defyant15 - here's the second performance test with notes from Josh. He also did the first performance test of this car: http://www.edmunds.com/ford/mustang/2015/long-term-road-test/2015-ford-mustang-gt-performance-testing-redux.html

  as someone with the a lowered previous generation mustang i get where you are coming from. but the current generation stock wheel/fender gap doesn't bother me aesthetically like it did the previous generation which was horrible.

  Awesome. Thanks, not sure how I missed this! The increase in slalom (one of the better measure of handling and confidence) is remarkable. Wow. Do drive it through some mountain roads (also against the new SS, BMW M4) and share your thoughts!
