exactly how do you go about lowering a 94 'stang...do I just need to get lowering springs on their own or do i need one of those suspension kits that has shocks and dampers and everything...if that even made sense, I don't really know what i'm talking about!

[homebrewed]

depends on how much ya wanna lower it. a set of C/C plates aren't always a necessity, but are great to have in the future. 1.5" is about all you will wanna go. what brand/kind of springs are you gonna put on? street, drag, Eibach, Steeda? SPC manufacturing makes adjustment hardware and is failry reasonable on price. as for dampers, an upgraded set will net you the most from your drop. KYB, Lakewood, and Strange make force adjustable replacements. there are a few other manufactures out there that make adjustables, those are just a few.

Now that you are totally confused, send me a PM if ya want more info

Way to give advice homebrewed. LOL
Get a Eibach prokit. 1.5" drop and all you have to do is change the springs and get an alignment.

are you being facious or truthful?

I was just laughig at the way you started out giving clear instructions then you even had me confused. I was just kidding. LOL

why Eibach? I found the kit thing...I think it was like a few hundred bucks. but I have also seen just lowering springs on their own for 80...do I actually need a kit or just springs? 80 would be nicer than 300 or so...

Those spring you are talking about will give your car a rough ride and may affect your handling. As long as you don't lower more than 1.5" al you need are the springs (assuming your shocks are good) and an alignment.

huh...stock springs already have a rough enough ride for me, I was kinda hoping to get something that would give me a smoother ride. But I guess I can't do that if I'm gona lower it eh...or what..

i have steeda sport springs in my 94.. dropped it down nice & all i needed was an alignment...

That is why I suggested Eibach's Prokit. Thier springs are almost the same quality as stock springs so your ride won't change too much.

People do not realize the importance of changing their endlinks at the same time!! You can incorrectly end up altering your suspension geometry.

In a stock configuration the lever ends of the swaybars are mounted so that they are parallel with the lower control arm bushings. This is the ideal positioning of the lever ends for maximum sway restriction.

Once the car is lowered by using aftermarket springs the swaybar levers are no longer parallel - thus causing altered geometry of the suspension and decreased sway resistance.

Touche' Good point bro. Does anybody make shorter (I'm guessing that is what is needed) swaybar endlinks, or will, say, Energy Suspension bushing make up for the added sway?

Neckbonekat is spot on about the Eibach springs. The Pro kit is a progressive rate spring. What that means, and try to bare with me here, is that over potholes and washout and all other manner of road imperfections, they will compress very similiar to an OEM spring. When things get a lil more intense and they are pushed furher, they will stiffen in a progressive manner. That means they won't just stiffen all the way at once and make you feel like you're ridin' in a grain truck.

All sort of companies make them - Steeda, D&D etc...

using the prokit (1.5"drop) on my coupe, I solved the end link problem by cutting 1.5 " off of the spacer tube and adding it back on top under the nut. worked for me .
