i'd like to know who's springs those are...i want to find a good set of shocks/struts made for my eibach's - if ford is using the pro-kits then those dampers (multimatic motorsports) should be valved just right for my setup.
else i'll have to go wtih something like the d-specs ($$$$)

Since I've never lowered a car I was wondering if I get this kit will I still need the camber plates?

i just did some digging and the springs in this kit are steeda springs.
according to most people, with the steeda kits you don't go low enough to need their caster/camber plates for alignment...anything lower (like my eibachs) you will likely need them to get the car back into alignment.
i think these dampers (shocks/struts) are valved specifically to work best with the steeda springs so i don't think they'll work as well with the pro-kit (darn!).

Man, I can't take my eyes off this kit!!
Thanks for the info on the springs. I was hoping Steeda. I don't want to go too low. I'm a little nervous about 1.5 inches, as stated on the site, but I guess I can always give it try. Many of you are lowering more than that w/o problems.
I don't plan on a chin spoiler, so I should be good. I do plan on 18" black rims, with 255/45 BFG KDWs on the front and 285/40s on the back. Still think I'll be in clear as far as interference goes?!?

You shouldn't be nervous about steeda springs - they are more on the 'mild' side of springs - less drop then pro-kits IIRC (which i have and think are great - not slammed but just enough). the steeda springs also have lower spring rates so they should be closer to stock ride quality then pro-kits (which aren't harh)...
you won't have problems with rubbing - only if you slammed the car and went with 19"++ you might. i have 18" fanblades and pro-kits and i'm a-ok.
remember, everything in this kit is made by someone else so you might be able to assemble the kit by buying individual parts...it's up to you.
