Hey guys,How hard is to change the shocks and springs package on 99-04 mustangs, and what is all involved in the process, if anyone don this please explain.And what combo do you recommend for 1 1/2 or 1 1/4 inch drop.
Thanks
 
Easy as balls... just don't be freaked out when the front springs pop out of their rust-encrusted lower seats... alls ya gotta do for the fronts is take off the calipers, disconnect the sway bar, then put a jack under the a arm and unhook the strut completely top and bottom... lower the a arm down slowly until the a arm is bottomed out. then pry the spring out :P
Back all ya gotta do is take off the calipers, jack under the diff, unhook the shocks and the small shocks (forgot what you call em... they reduce wheel hop I think), lower the whole rear end until it bottoms out, then pry out the rear springs. Lowered springs are a lot easier to put in because they're shorter and easier to compress... oh and don't forget to either change out or shave down your pinion snubber.

D-specs = kickass strut/spring combo... I swear by the Eibach pro kit springs.
