Ok so about three weeks ago I pulled the trigger on springs, caster and chamber, front and rear sway bar, and strut tower brace. So what I am missing that is essential? I was thinking of a panhard bar bc the stock one is flimsy. Opinions? Btw all parts were from Steeda

I have had the Steeda Ultra-lites with Tokico D-Spec shocks and struts from the day I bought my car. I picked the car up new at the dealer, drove around the corner to a tire shop and had the Steeda's installed along with new wheels and tires. Great setup and I highly recommend the Steeda springs. Get the Ultra-lites or the Sport springs and you can't go wrong.

Don't forget the Panhard Bar, with lowering springs the axle housing will be off center.

Congrats on your new suspension set up. You asked if you were missing anything. You may want to get some new Struts/shocks. It will greatly improve the ride also. With the panhard bar, It doesnt hurt to get one depending on how low you are planning to go. From what I read, sounds like you are going with a minimal drop, so an adjustable panhard bar may not be necessary. You may be fine with just the stock panhard bar. I just got my stang suspension set up two weeks ago. I got the sportlines, so my drop was pretty dramatic. I had to get an adjustable panhard bar because it shiftedthe rear axle to the left, i also put on some tokicos. I love the ride! You wont be dissapointed in yours either. Post some pics afterwards!

I just got the sports, it's dropped an inch in the front and inch and a quarter in the rear. Are your tokicos adjustable?

Think the adjustables would be worth the money or no?

It's all up to your preference man. If ur goin to be tinkering with ur suspension alot or doing track, the adjustables would be great. But if your doing just a daily driver like me and/or budget minded, the regular ones are just as great
