2. anything here i dont need? like the cc's or the bumpsteer.

3. anything here you guys would change? like the control arms....


everything here i'm pretty much set on, i would only change my list if some of you object as to the parts are shitty and so on.....or if there is something of similar cost but better quality.

TOTAL: ~$2,600 or somthing....

thanks!

Holy cow, thats some serious dough coming out. post before and afters

[Tmac3320]

haha yeah i know, i will for sure.


one more question.....

so i dont have to spend 1200 dollars on suspension, are there any alternatives for a good street setup that will still handle awsome and lower the car to make her look good?

like maybe just doing some eibach's? or frpp's? so i dont have to run cc's and new shocks and struts.... idk just a thought.

[Tmac3320]

i dont want to do a crappy job on this though.

[99mustanggtman]

ur gonna have to use cc plates if you lower it, its the proper way, u dont need new struts or shocks right this moment

[Tmac3320]

aight, kool. if i just got some eibachs, would i ever have to get new shocks and struts. i mean not for a long time.....or would they not dampen properly because of the lowered stance.

[slow02gt]

after you lower your car the best thing is to do shocks and struts at the same time(even though i still havent done them) but you can go without them untill you need time.. and i have a 2" all away around on my car... and those some nice ass tires but you can tell that they not gonna hook for shit..lmao

[Tmac3320]

haha kool, i know i need an alignment after i do this. but what if i dont do shocks and struts right away......would i need another alignment when i get them?

also, yeah theyre supposed to be the top of the line from vredistien but why wouldnt they hook up good? can you tell? kuz i've got other options.....i just thought i'd try somthing new.

Do your car the way you want to, you are doing it correctly, i have done the same thing with my suspension, just with eibach, it comes out great, i didn't do the bump steer or the total bushing kit, didn't really see the point to yet, i like to feel everything, those tires and rims are the shit, those tires should work fine, they look bad ass at least, if they don't hook enough, get drag radials and throw on your stocker rims!! Good luck with the car, take your time, do it right, it will be a cornering machine, then me and you can run it in the mountains!!!

[Tmac3320]

kool, i'm thinking that i'll just go with the eibachs, because my driveway's gonna be a bitch, and theres not a huge difference really. then i wont need a bumpsteer.

badwolf....when you got done with the install and drove it was there a big difference in how it rides? and if i dont need the bushing kit then i wont get it. unless it will help with performance.....like traction and etc...

[bigbadwollfff04]

I honestly don't know about the bushing kit, and i don't know about bump steer enough to say go for it, or pass it up, the bump steer is a great idea in my opinion, i just didn't do it!! Bushing kit, i would ask in the tech section to see if worth it!

H and R and eibach's both do great, i have had both of them, i don't notice a difference, but that was too different cars!!

About the ride, well lets see, other then feeling almost like a corvette in the corners, it is an excellent ride, bumps can make your teeth chatter sometimes, corners give you a hard on, and off ramps, god damn!! Once you see a couple of speed bumps, you have to learn to go elsewere most of the time to avoid them, i can't go to certain stores in my area because of them!! But honestly, the ride, what else can i say, but you will love it!!

[Tmac3320]

kool, i'll see what i can come up with for the bushings and stuff.

i cant wait till i do this

[bigbadwollfff04]

it will look and drive really good, look in my garage and you can somewhat see the stance from my side pic!! Good luck!!

[Tmac3320]

kool, looks awsome! yeah i'll prolly just go with eibach.

thanks!

[gt_andy]

Wow that look like what i just did to mine!

I just installed about 3 months ago....H&R Super Motersports CCamber plates, Tokico Illumina 5-Way Adjustable Struts.

You will have to have an alignment done on the car after installing CC plates.

Do it....you will love it! I love how mine sits. The handling is much better.

I had a project thread on a local forum of mine! Toledotuners.com - View topic - NO MORE 4x4. (installed parts & CCplates update/Q's PG.6)

[99mustanggtman]

if you want the best street tires, choose the Bfgoodrich KDW 2s, i will never buy any other tire again...

[slow02gt]

^^^^^^^^^^ yup yup thats what i run295/35/18

[mustangjl]

I would change the tokico from adjustable tokico on ebay for like $100 more than what you getting.
