To lower or not to lower

[fivespeedsteed]

how come no one buys eibach springs for their stang?

 

[iwashmycar]

because you can get better, cheaper

 

[Strype]

Thinking of lowering mine as well... I'm going with Ford Racing

Talked to fastfox, going to pick em up saturday morning. I gotta order CC plates and shocks/struts can come later, mine aren't too old, and its not bouncy yet.

I paid around 170.00 shipped (new)...if you can get them forr 100.00 shipped...you're golden!!








and Strype is weird...

Yeah! Golden is right. I quoted him the hundred before I went back and looked how much I actually paid for them. I'm a fair man though, so 100 it is. Yeah Strype is weird, but that's what makes for good 5.0 Talk.

What brands are better and cheaper? I'd like know this piece of wisdom.

lower it but put on a good set of shocks struts imho bilstiens are the only way to go, when i first lowered my stang when i was in h.s i had kyb replacments and i hated it almost sold several times, then i got the coilovers which is in my mind the best mod you can make ot mustang right after sfc i loved it, alot, i mean really really love them, expensive but worth it, but a good shock strut spring combo can be good to

They carry MM stuff cheaper than the link you posted, and their house brand caster camber plates are exact copies of the MM ones.

I'm using LRS(I think) non full lengths.

Full Length is a must for your convertible. Don't waste your time with regular length.

i got em brand new for 50 bucks, I am broke. I am gonna go with the mm copies that you posted steve, good thing, cuz I have a CC in my hand ready to order the MM ones. Thanks.

grey5.0beast - I recently lowered my car with h&r sports (1.25F, 1.0R), bilsteins, stangsuspension.com CCplates, and all new poly bushings. Here is the link to my site if you care to look at some pics. My car is the same color as yours so you may like it The pictures toward the bottom are better pics.

P.S. - you'll notice my car is a victim of the fox body drivers side sag syndrome. The passenger side of the car is a more accurate depiction of how the springs should sit.

still not bad i guess.

100 bucks more, before I was making any money(bought them in may!!

It takes a bit of work to get to 100 bucks, especially when you make 8.15 an hour

My dad got em' for his mach 1 and they are awesome. I'll probably get some after I sell my spare transmission.

 

[grey5.0beast]

good to know there good quality, dad still isn't answering his phone, I gotta see if I got the go ahead.

Is your dad bringin the mach to "Bug Day"

Maybe, he had to relocate the battery to the trunk because of the intercooler tank, but there is no way hes drilling holes in the back of his car for a battery cut off switch, which is against NHRA rules. I think tech is going to be light like it always is and he'll be able to get through, but hes worried that hes going to make a wasted 2 hour trip.
