Who is lowered

[TBapp3]

So Im thinking I want to lower the stang some this season....Not too sure of witch way to go yet....

I know I want a bit more low but don't know exactly what set-up I want to go with....

Lets see who has what.....

List what your set up is and lets see a pic of how it sits! (Id like to know what springs you have, did you need to do any other mods with theme and rim size also)

Who wants to help me out

I lowered my sisters car with eibach pros. Didn't need anything. Also I did Carsrule (sean) and I do not believe he needed anything.

would suggest going with the eibach if it is your daily, and get some camber/caster plates (if cash allows) and also an alignment.

There are plenty of dropped new edges here.

Witch Eibach's did you do in your sisters??? Any pics????

 

[Wicked One]

Eibach pro. I will look now for some pics.

Good move lowering her. I went with Tokico shocks / struts and Steeda sport springs. At the same time I installed some Steeda caster camber plates. How low are you trying to go? Your car is your daily, right?

H&R Supersports

255/40 tires front, 315/35 rears. I want it to drop another 1/4-1/2" front, another 3/4" rear.

ground clearance is overrated.

for you, Id suggest either A- a prokit, or B- H&R race springs. the Ford letter springs will give you a bit of a drop, but still a bit of a gap. what you may want to do is something like a prokit in the front, and C springs in the rear with your tires.

Thanks for the input so far guys.....I DO DD the stang in spring/summer/fall so I dont want TOO low but I am looking for lower than whats there now....

PS...I do have ford C springs for the rear, that will be the way Ill go b/c of my rear tires as you said!
Just need to figure out witch I want for the front...

Anyone using Eibach Sprotline springs????

Once you lower your car, is Caster Camber plates nessasary?

 

[TBapp3]

^Depends on the situation is what Im learning....

 

[NYstang]

The general rule is 1.5" is the limit of the stock parts, but there are cars that can go more, or have less and need camber bolts or CC plates.

My friend nathan ran a 2.25" drop on stock plates, and Jenzpony has a 1.15" drop and is just at the limit of the stock plates.

So how about the install....
I read through the AM DIY directions and it doesn't seem that bad but I honestly dont have much mechanic experience....

Would anyone with experience wanna give a helping hand come spring????
Im really set with paying to have stuff done I just gotta man up and tear into it...BUT....I always get nervous Ill get half way and not know what to do, would LOVE to have an awesome NYM member who has done it around!
If anyone is willing.....

 

[NYstang]

Did you get 3 bolt or 4 bolt CC plates?


also, dont forget to take off the dust boots from the struts when you install them...When i got my car aligned, I had to take it all back apart to get them off...

 

[TBapp3]

4 bolt.....


I dont know If Ill tackle the job unless I fiund someone to help me, you wouldn't happen to have intrest would yea....Sounds like youv done a time (or two at that )????

 

[NYstang]

haha, once.

4 bolt youll need to drill one more hole into the shock tower

 

[TBapp3]
