Need new shocks /w Eibach pro kit?

[postalbunny]

See a lot of people buying new shocks and camber plates /w the sportline kits... do you need either of these /w the pro kit?

I'm looking to only drop my car 1 - 1.5 inches to get rid of the 4x4 look.

.. or mabey throw some mud tires on

I just finished my rear springs yesterday. Didn't have the dough for the cc plates when I did the front, but now wish I would have waited until I did since when you do the front you have everything out anyway. I went with cheap monroe sensa-tracs all around. Rides great.

You may not need the CC plates, but you never know. Every car is different with caster/camber, so I would just order the plates now. Better safe than sorry.

you wolnt need CC plates. and Im running KYB AGX Adjustables. I love them and the car rides really nice, plus u can adlust them 8 diff ways.. great shocks/struts for the $$

If your car has more than about 40 or 50 k You should go ahead and put new
shocks and struts. If they are in good condition might as well wear them out.
No need for cc plates either.

Hm... right at 46k miles. Not looking for adjustable shocks, as I wouldn't what to adjust for what conditions etc. Whats a good plug & play shot to get?

Also, my fox had 2 sets in the rear, do i need to purchase 2 struts and 4 shocks for this car?

 

[streethorse]

You might try some KYB non adjustable shocks and struts, I ran them on my other
stang and they are pretty firm, Better than stock and your typicle autozone
type cheap-o brands. As for the quad shocks in back. I wouldnt change them
unless you are having wheel hop issues, I ran them for over 110k no problem.

Don't get KYB AGX ADJ cause I change mine with kyb about 8 months ago and no good luck when i drag race. I used to pull 1.8 60' with stock shocks and struts but now I cannot even get better the 2.0 60'. I am hate my kyb, I tried soft out back to firm out back when i drag race but never dial in right. I am just sick of it.
I used to do 1.8 60' and 13.5 1/4 miles with stock cams and stock shocks struts and now I got more power , cams , kyb agx adj shocks struts and quad and cannot even run my old times. I am doing 14 low 1/4 miles with 293rwhp

I didn't do (or need) either one with my pro-kit but I have a set of bilsteins and CC plates waiting to go on it just because...

I thought we already talked about this..


but seriously, are you going to change them out, because I would like to know if they do make a diff. I stated many possibilities but you never know for SURE untill you start changing things. i still, however, think its a traction problem cause i have the same deal goin on.

came back from the track 2night with same #'s . I am sick and tired of my mustang , I have spent so much money into it and now I am running 14.00-14.4
1/4 miles. I cannot dial in my shock or struts so shocks are coming out. I am not going to drag race until I get some non adj shocks

 

[steveb24]
