Some of you asked what the before and after difference was with the Eibach Pro Kit on the 06 Mustang. The before pics were taken at the shop by Lidio and he only just sent them to me today. The drop was just over 1 1/2 inches all the way around. That wide open gap above the wheel kills the look. I am pleased that the wheel much better fits the wheelwell now.

Good pics, nice rims!

 

nice pics performance white is looking better than i thought

 

believe it brotha! performance white is hot!

my eibach kit picture:

 

Did (or are) you address the alignment camber issue? And what of the rear axle centering issue?

 

How has the installation affected the comfort of the ride on your great looking white Gt?

 

Also do you notice bottoming out at all ?

 

Great pics!

 

i knew that was lidio's shop before even reading it---what did he charge you for the install? thanks

 

I am very happy with the results. I will have the allignment checked. As for the ride, It doesnt seem to be affected much at all, its a little bit stiffer, but the ride quality is still outstanding. When I put this kit on my 04 Mach 1 it really made the ride a lot stiffer, but not on the 06. I have not had any issues with bottoming out at all either.

 

I dropped my PW a couple of weeks ago, only problem I had was on a slope, at the top, scraped the bottom a bit, but nothing bad.
What about painting the calipers red? It made the world of a difference when I did mine...

 

The pics need to be bigger, I can barely see them.

 

still ALOT of wheel well gap. :-\

but I like the color and wheel combo alot.

 

Looks good!

 

seriously? the pics at the top are after it was just done I'm assuming, so you have to give it some time and they'll settle down lower.

you don't want it gangtsa slammed, else the gap between the tire and the fender becomes uneven and smaller at the top of the rim. :notnice: i'm biased, but i think the gap and height are perfect!


in terms of alignment, i elected to install the steeda billet camber plates at the same time to avoid any problems - the shop had no problems aligning the car. through i can't say that if i didn't have them, that i'd have had a problem.

i've had no clearance problems with the car, and havne't scrapped anywhere. ride confort is fine, but firmer then stock, though not harsh. personally i would recommend that anyone installing aftermarket springs should also do shocks at the same time. the tokico d-specs are really nice, though pricey. hopefully more companys will come out with 05-06 mustang shocks soon.

I sure do with my car, and I have the Steeda Sports which don't lower the front quite that much! There are a couple of driveways I have CRAWL over to avoid scraping.

Maybe here in SoCal where the storm drainage is mostly handled by driveway slopes and concrete surface "dips" it is just worse.

just add some beefier tires to get rid of the remaining gap... that would look more retrooooo....
