Need help installing Springs!!!


hi am new to this site. i just got a 99 mustang coupe and i bought some eibach springs to lower it. I plan on doing it myself tomorrow but i was wondering if anyone had a how-to or knew where to find an install guide to help me on the way. Has anyone else done this and how hard is it in difficulty? thanks a lot

If the drop is more than an inch and a half don't do it yet until you get more suspension items. Caster and camber plates, shocks. Your really gonna have to redo your entire suspsension if you go more than 1.5 inches.

also after you get all of that replaced and installed you should go get an alignment done right afterwards. It's necessary.

thanks everybody. shoot i think the springs i got are supposed to be like a 1.8" drop? is it absolutely necessary to replace all the other suspension stuff at the same time. I thought i could just lower it and then go get an allignment. what will happen to the car if i just install these springs?

you will wear you shocks out, and you wont be able to do the alignment properly.
