just picked up a brand new eibach pro kit for my '06 vista blue mustang...for $210 shipped. i think i got a great deal and ill be lowering it myself as well. well, trying. hopefully i wont have trouble with the bearings or whatever they are falling out.

 

post pictures after the install! What rims and shocks u runnin?

 

it is not a daily driver, just weekends and such...so im sticking with the stock shocks. i dont drive it hard or anything either i just wanted the stance a little better. not 100% on the wheels yet but looking like the vossen vvs078 silver.

 

Hey about your install and the EIBACH kit. When i installed my kit, i was hearing alot of noise after i lowerd it! it was driving me crazy, so i did some research... Apparantly the caster/camber plates from ford are a one time install use. And aren't supposed to be reused if yuo take them off the shock/strut. So i ordererd knew ones of those. Then, it still didn't fix it. So i thought that it was the shock. So i ordered Tokico shocks. It still didn't fix it, so i was like losing my mind! so finally after alot of trail and error, i found out it was my front sway bar. It wasn't tightened all the way, so i tightened it and wala! it was fixed. Needless to say, i spent aruond 1,000 on my 250$ lowering kit! lol, i felt like such a freaking moron after i was finished. One thing i would say to buy honestly, but since it isn't a daily driver i don't know, is the adj, panhard bar just to correct the rear, cause it moves about 1" either way i cna't remember after you lower it. And a caster/cambor kit for the front. i think they are like 40, Firestone can't get my car's camber corrected unless i have that, it isn't really noticable, but it is worth the 40$

 

I did the ford racing springs which lowered my 06 1.5 inches. Reguardless of how much you drive it it still changes the overall geo of the suspension. Gtrac brace in front, adjustable pan hard bar withe matching brace from Steeda works real well. Steeda make a ball joint for the front that will really help with alignment as well as rear lower control relocation brackets. But see now were getting to involved but if you do one thing it leads to other issues.Read the post about lowering your 197

 

The drop isn't agressive enough to need a ball joint kit. The LCAs are useful if you are still not able to plant the rear end when launching...

This car is really fairly well built where you don't need a lot of the things you needed in previous mustang generations. If you need them now (ie, ball joints), it's because you are a hardcore racer and the tolerances the stock piece has it's not enough for what you need the car to do.

 

no, this car is my baby. rarely driven and only has 15k on it since i got it in late '05. and i have seen a few different caster camber bolt kits...which one should i go with?

 

Simplest thing you can do is get bolts, especially if it's rarely driven, no sense in spending a whole lot of money... by the way, I have a pair of eibach alignment bolts for sale in the "For Sale" section. That should be all you need to align the car properly.
