i'd hate to ruin your parade but alot of people have had problems with there Eibach springs sagging, especially on foxes. But that aside, you'll need to install them duh, and then take them somewhere to get aligned, if you look @ stangette (http://www.stangette.com/community/showthread.php?t=120) you can find alot of links to installs of many different things, springs, shock/struts included. Good Luck!

Get caster-cambers. I mean it is "possible" to get it done without it, but your enjoyment of the ride will suck. Other than that you are good to go.

with a lesser drop like a prokit CC plates are not necessary, but with the sportline drop they almost will be. if you don't get them your alignment will be off and your handling will suffer, as well as your tire wear pattern.

id suggest getting a bump steer kit as well. if money isn't really a problem (or is a little one but you wanna do everything right anyway) id get a sn95 ball joint kit (moves the ball joints higher so suspension geometry is correct) its late and i can't think of anything else so goo dluck

I recommend Maximum Motorsport. I had great performance with MM, Koni struts/shocks, and Eibachs on my 93 cobra. Here is a how-to install article if you need it:

I have Sportlines on my 2000 GT, and I'm hoping they dont sag, or at least not for a while. Ive had them on for a year n a half. Get caster/camber plates. I was at 2.4 degrees of negative camber without 'em. Go MM.

there's a million mile warranty, dunno if it covers sagging

and lowering springs do "settle" down to their final height after a few months am i wrong? if this is what 95GTV8 was referring to then it should be natural. if he means sagging like the rear end factory springs, i hope mine do not do that

Theres a few posts on the SN95 forum now. I guess after a while one or both rear springs will sag so its lower than the front. And they cant get Eibach to do anything about it. Mine is sitting pretty close to level now, and hope it stays that way for a while.

I just put some springs on my car (93 Cobra) and within two weeks, my Left tire is warn on the inside. I have dropped two SN-95's and had no camber problems, but I can literally see the camber tilt on the fox body. I will be buying CC plates next.

Oh, and a new set of front tires.......
