Drop springs on stock strut/shocks?

[Tunez4523]

Good or bad idea? I know that on some of the cars I have had in the past it pretty much lays waste to the struts and shocks and relativly quick at that. I would assume that the same should be true on the stang we've all been told about "ASSumptions" right. I have looked at the Mac, Steeda Sprot and Ford Racing Springs and it seems that regardless that a set of CC plates would be in order.

Can anybody point me in the correct direction here?

When I put in my Eibach springs, I did NOT replace my factory shocks and struts. It was ok for a while, but now I believe that I really need new ones.

I've been looking at the Mach 1 combo. They are made by Tokkito(sp) and are already adjusted for the lowered ride hight.

With my setup, I did not need CC Plates.

You may wanna give some details about your car though if you want more specifics. I assume it's a mustang... Other than that, not really sure.

I've had The Eibach Sportline springs on my car for 2 years now. Which gave me a 2inch drop in front and 1.75 in the back. I'm on stock struts and shocks and stock caster/camber plates. My struts and shocks are fine. I did change out the front with lakewood 90/10's and fox body 4cyl front springs for about 2 months, but ditched them and went back to my old setup. I've yet to have any problems.

Thanks for the replies guys. I forgot to add that it is a 2004 GT. I have been looking at the BBK/KYB set-up but if the struts aren't needed then I'll just grab some springs.
