your gonna need cc plates with a drop of 2''. there was a review someone did about these springs on mm but i cant seem to find it. the dude that did the write up loved them.

510jatt · March 5th, 2009, 10:49 AM

I see.. how much do cc plates usually go for?

ajm · March 5th, 2009, 10:51 AM

$200 or so

i believe verts need a different set....my eibachs were only for vert mustangs but check it out with them

you get what you pay for with cheap springs though bro. i was going to do the same thing but i decided to wait and get everything at once. springs, ccplates, control arms, etc. i wanna do it right the first time.

Ok, I'm going to be very honest with you. I would avoid "off-brand" springs. To me, it seems like they just aren't built to spec and aren't the best quality they can be. And they probably don't have a very good/proper spring rate that is specifically designed and engineered for you car. Bottom line, IMO, get name brand springs. I.E. Eibach, H&R, Ford Racing, Steeda, etc.

ok so it would just be better to wait then half-ass it.. i got a quote for $350 installed for some H and Rs.. i dont even really want to lower the front because i got a lip in the front and it already touches the ground as it is.. the shop said if i buy springs for just the rear, they could install them for $50. Does that sound good?

thepizzle44 · March 5th, 2009, 11:06 AM

doesnt sound too bad to me lol

Lefty · March 5th, 2009, 11:06 AM

Yes wait. Don't half ass out on suspension let alone anything in a car that's mechanical/electrical.

your lip touches the ground? and your car isnt lowered? i need to see pics of that. maybe instead of doing a full 2" drop all around u can settle for the pro kit or something with not as an aggressive drop

I think he should go w/ the H&R Sport. **NOT** the super sport. Just the sport set.

thepizzle44 · March 5th, 2009, 11:13 AM

hes got the roushe bumper

Well see even though the rest of the car has Roush stage 2 parts, the front bumper is stock but has a lip so wen im pulling out of nasty apartment driveways, it tends to kinda touch the bottom so i have to maneuver just to pull out.

Why not the super sport? Those have more of a drop and will get rid of the nasty wheel well gap.
