i plan on lowering my car once the nice weather hits (yay SPRING/SUMMER!!)
I plan on getting bilstien struts/shocks, and H&R springs...all from www.mustangtuning.com

Do you think I will NEED anything else?
i THINK i may need MM C/C plates cause the car will be lowered about 1.6" up front and 1.5 in the rear. will I?

anyone with that setup? u like it?

That would be a good setup, Thats what I plan on going with. You will probally need some C/C plates. From what I hear mostly everyone that used the H&Rs need them. MM makes probally the best ones. Other than that you should be ok.

I love my 4.10s. defiantly one of the best mods you can do. I havent went to the track since I got them on but should shave a few tenths of your time. but it feels like you picked up 100 HP, well, maybe not a 100, but you get the idea

I have exactly what you are considering installed in my car.

With the H&R springs, you will need the CC plates.

Consider getting some subframe connectors if you don't already have them. I have the MM full length ones, and the difference in the amount of chassis flex (the lack of) was immediately noticable when they were installed.

Also consider getting some MM LCA's.

I also have the H&R Sports and MM CC Plates, but I have Tokico Shocks/Struts, great setup, looks and feels great. Im sure you will love it with the Bilsteins, get the CC plates and do everything right from the get go.
