lowering springs

[bill302]

when i install lowering springs, i will need to buy some caster camber plates anything else i need to expect to buy or install.

Bill, the correct answer is yes, get yourself some MM CC plates.

If you do a mild drop (something like a Prokit), you might be able to get away without plates (regarding tire wear, but not necessarily decent handling specs, alignment-wise).

Enjoy the new springs and congrats on the new trans! Hope your leg is feeling better!

Isolators if you don't have them (if you still have the stockers in there).


Also, if you plan on or currently need shocks & struts ..... this is an ideal time to do it.

i'm doing good HISSIN50 im going back to work tommorrow i have enjoyed the 3 weeks off thank god for sick leave....the tranny is wonderful and i'm eyeing a set of 79-04 Mustang Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs Pro Kit.i have always been scared to lower my stang for steering and tire wear reasons and the stuff to prevent the problems are expensive but i'm hoping i can do the job for less than $125 for a used set of springs and cc plates and oh ya new ball joints.oh ya HISSIN50 check out the smog pump thread below my thread i refered him to you because of the info.. you gave me in the past on the smog pump issues....thanks.

Definately get CC plates. I got mine aligned after the drop and they said the CC was almost perfect.

Well two months later my tires are completely ****ed.

Glad to hear it Bill. Doin the trans swap in a cast was impressive.

Dang, you get some hook-ups!

I have the Prokit and it was as low as I dared go (I scrape as it is. And I don't have CC plates). Justin went lower and it looks

Replied to the AIR pump thread. Thanks for the shout.

IMO this really isn't the time to skimp out on cost. it will cost you less in the long run to get CC plates rather than new front tires.

prokit is a decent drop.
get the urethane isolators, and cc plates.
