    Does Eibach have a matched shock/strut setup with their Pro-kit? If not, what kind of setups are you guys running?

    Also,
    Is an adjustable panhard and third link necessary when lowering?

    What other parts to do recommend when lowering? Camber shims?

    I don't know about the Eibach kits. I purchased the Steeda Ultra-Light springs with a panhard rod, brace and the adjustable third link.

    As far as the adj. panhard rod, it will help you to center the rear axle after it gets lowered. The adj. third link lets you set the pinion angle.

    The brace is just that. A bit heftier and lighter than the stock (reduces unsprung wieght)...

    I did notice quite a bit of better rear traction with my setup...

    FWIW,
    I will be installing the Ford Racing handling pack this weekend along with a Maximum Motorsports adjustable panhard bar. The Ford Racing handling pack is suppose to be a matched set of springs, dampers (shocls and struts), sway bars and a strut tower brace. I'll let you know how it goes.
