Lowering Springs and exhaust

MustangMo · June 25th, 2008, 10:32 PM

I just bought some eibach sportline springs 2.0in drop in front n 1.8in drop in the back n was wondering if i will need camber bolts for it to be alined properly?

WLJohnson05 · June 25th, 2008, 11:45 PM

yes you do...anything over 1.5 inch drop needs plates and any drop needs an alignment

Youngin · June 26th, 2008, 01:22 AM

isnt it 1.6 in the front and 2.0 in the back?

nope mo is right

Youngin · June 26th, 2008, 02:11 AM

wow 2" drop in the front thats to low isnt it?

goren420 · June 26th, 2008, 09:55 AM

Definately get caster/camber plates and alignment, MM adjustable plates are great. And yeah, 2" front drop is pretty low, I have Prokit springs that dropped it the stated 1.5", and I have a Mach I chin spoiler, it's loooww. Alot of speed bumps are simply TOO high for me to get over without scraping.

i have the prokit too. and after i put that turbo in it sat even lower it looks like and ur right speed bumps suck, angle driving over em is the only way

Mo is right about the drop...idk why people get confused about the front and back drop
having a drop bigger in the back looks retarded and not uniform

goren420 · June 26th, 2008, 12:52 PM

Yeah def. the drop should be lower in front, and is if you buy stang specific springs and put them on right... tha stance is badass... angling over speed bumps is a must but if they are real skinny and just high there's no way, I totally avoid some places now cuz of it, and I go to USF where they are addictted to speed bumps, luckily I've made it to where I only go over one each way and it's not bad, I'll take the look and feel over the minor inconvience anyday.

chris i just checked the site . its 1.6front 2.0 rear

You might be able to get away with caster/camber bolts. It's less expensive that the MM adustable c/c plates. But if it was me, and I did, get the MM adjustable 4-bolt c/c plates. Much more adjustability and you have the ability to adjust them for your application (autocross, street, etc.).

Definitely need an alignment but they may not be able to get them dialed in properly with out the bolts or c/c plates.

After we installed my Sportlines & Tokicos we adusted my alignment with a hand level for now. Mine tracks right down the road perfectly straight. After they settle (around 400 miles) I'll take it to a shop to get aligned.

mine sat higher in the back with the pro kit, but since the added weight it looks like they are about the same

sometimes i wonder if getting lowered is worth it because of all this stuff about speed-bumps and going up into the driveway, in yalls opinion is it worth it?
