This sunday i am installing some H&R springs, Tokico Illumina shocks and MM Caster Camber plates on my 94 GT. My friends and i have installed suspensions before, but not on a Mustang. The springs and shocks are pretty straightforward but is there anything we should know about the CC plates that could slow us down? Any tips to make this whole thing a bit easier would be appreciated. We are planning on getting this all done in one day in my buddies fully equipped garage any reason it couldn't be done in a day?

Get some small files because the bolts are a little bigger than the holes on the shock tower; also depending on the drop i'm assuming 1 - 1 1/2 inches you shouldnt have any clearance issues, any more than that you might have problems with the rear exhaust pipes knocking on the rear axle. Also more than that you might have to cut a little rubber of the stock shock boot. And i'm also assuming you already have subframes, if not look into getting them your ride quality and cornering will improve vastly.
