Hello everyone, I put on a set of Eibach Pro's today, along with the BMR adjustable panhard bar. Attached are a couple of pics Also, to anyone who has already lowered their 05, or is thinking about it - I highly recommend getting an adjustable panhard bar to re-center the car. After putting the rear springs on, I put the adjustable bar on, based on the stock length. The passenger side of the car had a shift to the right of 3/4" compared to the right side of the car. A few turns of the adjusting mechanism on the bar (without having to remove it, I might add), and the car is now within 1/16" of being perfectly centered.

I'm very please with the drop these springs gave the car, and I'd like to thank Adrenalin for posting the directions/how-to a while back, it was a great help.

Sweet, Dave. I have to stop looking at these lowered Mustangs, I don't want to spend the money to lower the whole car.

3/4" out of center? I never would have thought it would be that much. I better start thinking about an adjustable panhard bar myself.

Just curious, how did you measure the centerline? Was it done on an alignment machine?

Thanks for the comments! The front tires tilt inward at the top just enough to be noticable. I'll give it a bit to settle and have the front checked to see how far out it is. For the rear, I tied a heavy bolt to a piece of string and used that as a plumb-bob. I held the other end of the string at the apex of the wheel opening, then used a tape measure to determine the distance from the string to the wheel lip. Prior to adjusting the panhard bar, the driver's side measured 3/4", and the passenger side measured 1.5". So we split the difference, and a few turns of the adjusting mechanism and both sides were within 1/16" of one another. I just got back from taking a drive and the car is solid on the roads, even over bumps. Not harsh at all - it feels nice

Looks great. Looking forward to your evaluation of the ride/handling after the alignment.
