How much did it cost you all said and done to get the drop? Is it DIY project?

GTsetGO · January 16th, 2008, 09:49 PM

i ordered them from Jegs or Summit and had a friend of mine put them on. it's something you could do by yourself in your driveway in a few hours if you wanted

took me 4hours to install the springs by myself and doing the back twice
it can be done in 2-3hours

jgreaves · January 17th, 2008, 07:36 AM

Would it be safe for clearance and rubbing issues, i have 17x9 wheels wrapped in 255/40/17's

And how much of a discount do we get with American muscle?

AtlanticBlue99 · January 17th, 2008, 07:53 AM

i have 17x9 and 17x10.5 and have eibach sportlines (2.2" drop all around) with no rubbing issues. took 1.5 hours for all 4 corners.

I've got less than an inch gap between the tire and the fender on the front of my Foxbody and I've got 275-width tires in the front. There's a little rubbing, but given that your car won't likely be that low, and that the New Edge cars have significantly more room up front, I wouldn't be too worried about it. A *little* rubbing really isn't a big deal anyway.

alright thanks alot

This link I was given says that 94-04 v6 mustangs had to be a vert to fit, is that true or does it fit coupes too?

shadow5403 · January 18th, 2008, 08:39 AM

dont forget to buy a bump steer kit to recalibrate your toe angle

jgreaves · April 23rd, 2008, 07:56 PM

hey sorry that im bringing this back up guys, but i think im going to really get some springs soon, like for my birthday. I think i want to do a little bit more than 1.5, so what kit should i go with. And what are all the parts i need to do this because i think theyres something else besides the springs

the sportlines do a 2 inch drop...ur gonna need to get some caster camber plates too

jgreaves · April 23rd, 2008, 08:15 PM

how much do the plates go for, and how much do you think labor would be if i had my shop do them

RavensChild · April 23rd, 2008, 08:43 PM

i have 1" in front and 1/2" in back (previous owner) though i dont know why they didnt get a little lower. They took out the slight stance the car has and made it level

jgreaves · April 24th, 2008, 03:39 PM

???? anybody know

Onemanzu · April 24th, 2008, 03:48 PM

plates?

CC plates are like $175
labor isn't going to be much w.e going rate is at probably 4 hours... an hour per corner (this is an estimate)
