    Anybody running these? That's the drop I want and I want to pair it up with some tokico blues (if they even make them for the 05-06). Do I need CC plates with this? And I'm assuming I'll need this "panhard bar" or whatever it's called?

    Just installed a set 2 weeks ago. They feel awesome, and Tokico makes an adjustable set for this car. You'll need camber bolts for the front, and, most likely, and adjustable panhard bar.

    Now I was told that neither camber bolts or a panhard bar were necessary due to the minimal (1") drop. Mine get installed on Tuesday--we'll see.

    I have the Ultra-Light Sport Springs. I was told by Steeda I did not need the camber plates and that they were a waste of money. I got it aligned and did not need them, just as Steeda stated. I did buy the adj. PanHard Rod. Don't know if I needed it but, what the heck...

    I love the springs. They feel great. Much better handling and not too agressive for the street. I can't wat to see what they do at Roebling Road Raceway later this month and at Sebring next month...

    Ive got everything you are talking about, I did need the CC plates, I wish the rear sat a little lower.

    Are the Steeda's progressive or linear?

    uh oh, I didn't want to have to buy the adjustables. I was wanting to try to stay under $400 on the S/S. Any more options, I want to go ahead and lose the stock stuff when I get the springs?

    SFLdragon, yea you do have a little rake, but I like it.

    Well, I definitely needed the bolts ($27, why not?). I am going to remeasure my rear axle soon to confirm the need, or lack therof, for the adjustable panhard. The drop in front is about 1", but the rear is actually a bit more. It's perfect.

    I'm excited about the install next week. I think my 275 series tires are really going to look cool tucked under the fenders. If we need camber bolts or plates, we'll just overnight them and get it adjusted the following day.

    Going to be an expensive next week. Springs get installed on the '05 on Tuesday, and auto tranny swap on the 86 GT Monday. With my son working fulltime (he's a mechanic), we just don't get the do-it-yourself time we'd like...

    Just curious, where did you find the bolts for this price. My car is ok, but I do like to open-track and I currently cannot adjust the camber any more?

    Check Ebay. SPC makes some, as well as Eibach (I have the Eibach version and they appear to be identical to the SPC's--just cost 10 bucks more).
