Lowering Springs...Brand?

trueballerisme · January 2nd, 2007, 01:37 AM

when u say more then 1.5 are u talkin about the back only?

itschristorres8 · January 2nd, 2007, 01:38 AM

noo....do not get a 1.5 drop in back and a 1.25 in front...it'll look soo bad

the back will need springs, shocks and struts...the front is what needs all those and cc plates

trueballerisme · January 2nd, 2007, 01:42 AM

sorry bro i meant front. so 1.25 BACK, and 1.5 FRONT, right. and i wont need anything else?? do u have a link to them

AtlanticBlue99 · January 2nd, 2007, 01:54 AM

the front needs cc plates and struts. the back needs shocks. you may consider a bumpsteer kit too.

americanmuscle.com or stang suspension should have good deals. maximum motorsports is the place to get c/c plates though.

trueballerisme · January 2nd, 2007, 02:07 AM

can u list everything i need to buy

AtlanticBlue99 · January 2nd, 2007, 02:10 AM

springs (they come in a set of 4- 2f/2r)
shocks (2)
struts (2)
c/c plates (1 pair)
bumpsteer kit (optional but recommended for 1.5" or greater drop)
alignment

trueballerisme · January 2nd, 2007, 02:12 AM

k thasnks but theres gotta be certain springs and skocks.... like brands

AtlanticBlue99 · January 2nd, 2007, 02:14 AM

depends on what drop you go with. i like the tokico shocks/struts from the mach 1 mustangs...

eibach sportlines is a 2" slam
tokico shocks
tokico struts
maximum motorsports c/c plates
bumpsteer would be necessary for this drop...
and alignment.

if you wanted the 1.5" drop:
eibach pro kit springs
tokico shocks
tokico struts
maximum motorsports c/c plates
bumpsteer not necessary, but a good idea...
and alignment

trueballerisme · January 2nd, 2007, 02:16 AM

will the 2" hit the ground or speed bumps and that stuff. do u have some picks or have u talked to other people with that drop? (note. i have 18's)

AtlanticBlue99 · January 2nd, 2007, 02:19 AM

you will hit some speed bumps and every curb stop in a parking lot with a 2" drop. i dont have any pics on me now, but i may look for some tomorrow, i am going to bed now...

trueballerisme · January 2nd, 2007, 02:21 AM

oh so then i obviously shouldnt get it. then wut other drop could i get and be safe? but goodnite

AtlanticBlue99 · January 2nd, 2007, 05:49 PM

1.5" or less.

DSEZ · January 2nd, 2007, 05:52 PM

1.5 is still cutting it close on 18" i would go 1.25. It will cut the space between wheelwell and tire. I noticed stock it def looks like its sitting too high.

well that depends on tire size. a 275/40/18 or similar low profile wont rub on the wheel well in normal conditions. the rear can handle a 295mm wide tire no problem on a 9"-10" wheel... and that shouldnt rub either.

my 275/40/17 never rubs even with the wheel completely turned. that has the exact same sidewall as the 275/40/18, and it is about a .25" further drop, still would not rub.

I like them ford C springs...abt 1.5" drop...eibach pros arent bad either 1.6" front and rear but the sportline kits are a little bit too aggressive for me...1.6" front and 2" rear...i am thinking of going with the eibach pro kit myself....good luck..

But i believe anything more than 1.5" requires camber plates....am i wrong?
