mine had 1 1/2 steeda's all the way around and had an awesome stance. when i went solid i couldnt reuse the steeda springs in the rear so i went coilovers. the ass end sits a bit higher but it looks damn good.

MustangMatt- How much is your car lowered and did you have to get any C/C plates or did you just get an alignment? I want to lower mine 1 inch as well but not have it slammed (I have a body kit). I like the drop on yours.

Well I have the Eibach Proline kit! I recommend C/C plates, but when I bought the car it didnt have them! I also have yet to get an alignment, because the stupid shops around here say that to align it I have to get new tie rods and blah blah blah! lol

I was looking at the C Springs. I hear that for the 1 inch drop they do I won't have to get C/C plates. I just need to get them aligned. Yeah, I have heard car shops say that kind of crap. I don't think just a regular alignment isn't too lucrative for them so they through in the extra BS!

u dont need cc plates, they are reccommended for alot of springs. i also never used the cc plates and have yet to get it aligned... just dont feel like paying for it until i get new tires...

Steeda is for sure the way to go if you only want 1in. Do the steeda and keep the isolators, you will be right where your looking for.
