eibach kit cheapest and best way to go
My buddy told me just to buy a street spring kit and a camber kit. Should this be good enough for just some around town driving without jeopardizing to much?

I'm fine with the stock handling. I just don't want to make it worst then what the stock comes. I'm looking to drop 1.5 all around. With it not effecting to much performance or cash. I also don't want any regrets.

I drove to Hewitt Tx on Sat and picked up an set of FRPP M5300K along with the GT500 upper spring mounts. man it rides good. I do think you need a set of camber bolts.

I have the eibach pros and have been happy with them. The drop is perfect...Just the springs can make the ride a little rough. Might want to consider shocks/struts and lca's if that doesn't come in the camber kit...

the eibach springs are fine. however, with stock struts, the car is going to ride rough and bouncy.
its best that when you change your springs, you change the struts as well. you can find a good set of non adjustable struts (Steeda ProAction, Tokico HP Blues) for a good price.
you will also need to buy other parts to compensate for your drop.
new strut mounts are needed. since you are just looking for more driving handling, you can re-order the Ford Factory Strut Mounts. you can't re-use the ones on your car right now, they are a 1 time use only.
you will need to buy a panhard bar to re-align your center axle when you drop your vehicle
and you will also need LCAs & relocation brackets, for your car will have terrible wheel hop.
