I have an '06 Mustang GT and I was thinking about lowering it for a more agressive stance. I have never lowered a car before so I do not know what other things I might have to put into consideration. Will installing the lowering springs be all I need to do or will I have to install some other parts in order for everything to function properly?
I STRONGLY recommend the F.R.P.P. lowering kit it's $1,289 shipped from Summit Racing however it comes with EVERYTHING you need, Springs, struts, shocks, sway bars, stabilizer links, sway bar bushings and eccentric camber bolts it rides 90% stock and the handling & stability increase is well worth every penny!
Get out some $$ My car had just eibach springs on it and as of yesterday it now has the full Roush suspension kit + other stuff. Just having springs is not good for your tires, you need to get an alignment and camber bolts. In my case with the roush spoiler the car was in the weeds, way too low. If you want to drag your chin around or if it's a race car I say go for it. But for me a 1" drop is plenty low enough. You need to evaluate and research what you want to do, and mainly how much you want to spend. There are trade offs to installing springs. One thing is you have to take everything out of the rear to take out the springs, not a big deal but takes time and tools. For instance, to take out the rear shock the sway bar has to come out.....etc. Jack
I agree with the above post, a 1 to 1.2 inch drop is plenty. I just bought FRPP B springs and Blistein shocks/struts. One thing is if you don't drop the car more then 1.5 inch you won't need CC plates. I can’t wait to get all my stuff installed next week.
