Im looking to lower my stang.

A quick search will give you hours of entertaining reading on this subject.

Eibach pro and FMS B or C springs seem to be the most popular. Both will probably require CC plates....

I went with the Ford Bullit package to avoid CC plates. But, more for handling than lowering... :D
 
This is a pic of my car now .

what do you think about the ford racing b or c . Does anyone have any pics of there stangs lowered ?


I have the c springs check out my cardomain site for pics. I would have liked it a little lower but it is much better than stock. And I dont have any clearance problems what so ever. Handling was much improved as well.
 
I am going with the best springs, Eibach sportline and a set of poly bushings from BBK/Jegs. Go to discounttiredirect.com, call and talk to Cade, and you can get a set of sportlines for $210 shipped super quick. Ebay sells those springs for $249-$269 plus $35 shipping. Ouch!

Drops 1.75-2.0 inches. Comes with a smaller pinion snubber too. I have mine sitting in the garage ready to go on this weekend. If you have ANY Questions, PM me. I have done many drops on Mustangs lately. the drop is super EASY, and can be done in under 2 hours under good circumstances.

i have eibach pro kit springs and cc plates although i did not need them, still reccommended. offset rack bushings were good but would have got straight bushings the first time. also put on mach 1 shocks and struts from downs ford, they are very affordable and are tockicos that come with more hardware than you'll ever use. i also just installed hpm panhard bar and i wholeheartedly suggest it to any stang owner

Intrax makes a great spring, so does Eibach.

are you sure, i always thought intrax was a cheap pep boys spring.... Personally i just went with Steeda Sports which is a similiar drop to the FMS-C. They were on sale for last month for 188.99 which is a bit cheaper then they normally are and almost as cheap as the FMS springs, steeda may still offer then, but i couldn't pass them up, im pairing them up with 10way Adjustable Strange Struts which i just ordered today so ill be keeping you guys informed on how that goes

Also at what lowered hieght do u need caster camber plates?

so u didn't need the plates becuz the drop is not that low, correct?
 
CC plates are not necessary to a point. You just don't have FULL caster adjustment. In other words, you can't turn as sharp. If you buy Steeda X2 bushings they help with bumpsteer and others make the longer steering arms. But CC plates will only help with caster. All the stangs I drop align come out straight. I just have a harder time doing a u-turn or pulling into a parking spot. You will get used to it. It's like driving an extended F-250. I'll spend my money on shocks/struts rather than CC plates. But........ Some may argue with me. I am mearly expressing my experience.
 
with 1.5 drop you can line it up with the stock adjustments, provided your car has not been wrecked. don't get me wrong the extra caster is very noticable and welcome. i align my cars myself and have done several other stangs, lowered and not and have never had an issue on anything less than a 2 in drop, which in my opinion is not good for a street car. with my susp mods and a 1.5 drop i can out handle a stock m3 on the street, if i had a 2 in spring i dont think i could--no give over potholes and cracks.
