I lowered mine with the Steeda Sport Springs and had no issues at all.

It seems to kinda be luck of draw as to whether you will have problems or not. Some people have, some people haven't.

I installed the eibach pro kit, needed camber adjustment (ford did it for me under warranty), and an adjustable panhard rod for re-centering the axle (not required, but recommended if you install wide tires and want the axle centered as opposed to sticking out from the left side of the car)

the alignment was fine, and i drove it for 7 or 800 miles before i got the camber adjusted, and the panhard rod installed.

I had no problems with the Steeda springs however the alignment adjustment is at the limit.

I installed the Eibach pro kit and also put the Steeda camber plates on . It needed about 1-1/2 less camber .

Faber.. your telling me Ford did your alignment for free when you lowered the springs? also did you have them put on the panhard bar? I put on the eibach sports kit and been driving around, but I want to get it aligned and get that panhardbar installed.. its just sitting right now.. I'm wondering how much for would do it for.. also I recall someone saying that its only takes a low cost bolts to adjust the camber... I think. hahah
