I'm looking to lower my stang using the Eibach Sportline. However I'm sure I'm going to need more than just the coils for this operation. What would be necessary, in addition to the coils, to safely and effectively lower the stang?

nothing else is needed if you are only dropping for looks and drive on the street. If you want to correct the geometry in full after the drop you'll have to swap out your lower control arms in the rear for adjustable units and some relocation brackets. The panhard rod should be replaced for an adjustable unit too but its not as needs as the control arms.

Basically, if you want to launch well without wheelhop and tirespin you'll need something like the BMR LCAs and their weld in relocation brackets.

I used the Sportlines and afterwards had the alignment checked. No toe in / out, alignment oir camber adjustments needed. The rear end was aligned when they replaced it after the lowering. So, with now, no panhard bar needed. But I will be replacing it regardless.

Here are some pics.
