no body ?

Eibach makes good stuff... there's nothing wrong with that kit. i've never used Eibach shocks/struts, but I have their springs on my car and they are excellent quality. I'm sure their shocks/struts would be good too. Eibach is a very well known name. Before you buy that however, I think you should consider Steeda stuff... the only reason I went with the Eibach Sportlines is because they are lower than the Steeda springs. You can get entire suspension packages from Steeda Autosports | Ford Mustang Suspension | Ford Mustang Performance | Ford Mustang Tuning | Ford Mustang Cold Air Intakes and they have the best suspension parts IMO. But, their packages will be more expensive than that Eibach kit, which would work perfectly fine for what you're looking for.

yeah i want it to be low to be honest i love the stance of your car and thats why i was looking at the sport line springs and someone told me to look on ebay and i saw the whole kit so i thought i would be good like i said i donno much about suspension though soon i wanna do upper and lower control arms, full length sub frames, c/c plates (i was think mm for those) and sportline springs but have no clue what shocks and struts to go with

strange makes some really nice ones

96gtponyred · Mar 12, 2009

yeah a good friend of mine has them are they pretty expensive ??

actually... all the pictures i have up here of my car were taken when i had the Ford "C" springs on it (those are the same spring rate and drop as the Steeda sport springs). I haven't taken any new pics since I put the Eibach Sportlines on it... but let me tell you... its WAYYYYY LOWWWWW!!!!!! If you want really low, then Sportlines are the way to go... Unfortunately I'm out of town right now (and my car is parked in my garage 2000 miles away). I'll be back next weekend and I can take some new pics of it for you (I don't know how soon you are looking to get something).

The Sportlines aren't as nice a ride as the "C" springs were, but it's definitely lower and looks bad ass in my opinion - my rear tires sit no more than an inch from the fender...

That sounds like a great suspension list (above)... Here is my plan for my suspension (some of which I already have)... I've done some research on it and I think it's an awesome setup:

-MM full length subframes (still need to get)
-Steeda Steel rear upper control arms (still need to get)
-Steeda Steel rear lower control arms (still need to get)
-MM caster/camber plates (already have those)
-Tokico Bullitt rear shocks (already have those)
-Bilstein Cobra front struts (already have those)
-Eibach Sportline Springs (already have those)

i know... i can't wait!!! i'm actually in the process of buying a daily driver so I can take the Stang off the road and just have her as a fun car

so it's gonna be a little while before I put any more $$$$ into her. lol. But my next mods are for sure 1. control arms 2. subframes 3. 4.10's

ok... thread jack over

TKOTLARZ · Mar 15, 2009

u got an aod or manual?

WildWill · Mar 15, 2009

manual... t5 (syncros are starting to go tho... new tranny is also on the list, lol)

96gtponyred · Mar 15, 2009

will def takes some pics and send them to me when you get a chance i'm not in any rush cause i'm at school so i can wait i'd actually like to see pics of the C springs to if you dont mind. which are better performance wise. and with the upper and lower control arms how come you are buying steel wont they be heavy? (like i said i don't know much about suspension)

WildWill · Mar 16, 2009

ill get some pics of my car with the sportlines on it for you next week. these are pics of how the car sits on the "C" springs... http://www.moddedmustangs.com/forums/94-95/109154-fresh-paint-new-pics.html

I can't really tell any difference performance-wise between the C springs and the Sportlines, but I would bet that the C springs (and the Steeda springs) are a bit better around the corners. But like I said, it's not a noticeable difference to me.

My plan is to get the steel control arms because they are A LOT cheaper than the aluminum ones!

lol. Yes they are heavier, but there isn't that much difference in performance or quality of the product (or so I've read). Price is definitely an issue with me... lol.

96gtponyred · Mar 16, 2009

will the c springs look pretty good can't wait to see the sport lines... the paint looks fresh by the way! what percent tint is that ?

so the only difference is weight and price ?

96gtponyred · Mar 18, 2009

will did the sportlines lower the front more then the rear cause i really like that look and it seems like the c springs give it that beefy stance.

WildWill · Mar 18, 2009

i'm not sure what percent tint it is, it was on the car when i got it. it's really dark tho...

the sportlines actually lowered the rear more than the front. the rear is down about another inch and the front is down another half inch maybe (compared to the c springs).

from what i've read the steel steeda LCA's are just as good as the aluminum ones, except for the weight difference. the aluminum ones arent recommended unless you have 500+ rwhp... and i can guarantee you ANYTHING will be better than the stock arms that are on there. you could get some off brand from ebay for $100 and they would be better than the stockers.
