The car looks great with everything, the lowering, the spoiler delete, the exhaust, the fatter wheels.
The stance looks amazing, i'll consider the springs if I know I will have a winter beater

Hi wbrownie. I have a few questions for ya. How much did it cost to get the kit installed? I know the back is easy and could be done in a driveway but I am sure they need to compress the coils for the front.
Also, did you get an alignment done afterwards? I had an eibach kit installed in my 1995 Cavalier Z24 (I know, don't laugh) and never needed to get an alignment.
Just trying to figure out the total cost. Having rims, tires and complete body kit on order is making my wife nervous enough.

You could do it on jack stands but it would be a pain.
The shop that does some work on my BMW, Treehouse Racing, did it for me.
Took about 3 hours (note its the first Mustang they've worked on). Whatever your shop charges should be about $200 bucks total...at most.
Alignment should be done just to check things. Lowering will give it more negaitve camber, a good thing. This can't really be adjusted out on the stock struts.
The toe will also come out a bit with the lowering but not enough to make that much of a difference. I did not do an alignment. I'll just watch the tires to make sure they don't wear funny.
Have fun,
Bill

She's only got 150 miles on her but is looking much better IMO.
Installed the Eibach springs, 255/50/17 Fuzions (cheap but only stop gap until more 18 inch rims are available) and JBA axle back exhaust.
Springs feel great. Stifter but still a very nice ride. Lower about an inch to inch and half.
JBA sounds great tool

Drat, I just knew you were gonna say that. Arg, that is gonna put a dent in my body kit funds. Maybe I will do the springs last instead.

When I changed springs in my 325is, I took the whole assembly out and took it to a garage, let them swap the springs with a spring compressor for $20 in about 10 min. Went home and threw the assembly back in.
BTW, Nice Stang and M3!
Where was the track pic taken?
