Two questions:
1/ Are you changing only springs or dampeners as well plus sway bars with Eibach Pro Kit?
2/ What else have to be changed (or is recommended to be changed) in suspension / steering when you lower the car?
If you just go for the springs, they will destroy your struts and shocks after some 20K miles. It happened to me. Well I was aware of it and now changed to Steeda's Coil over suspension system by Tokico. It's great and you can lower or highten your car as much as you want. This goes way below any Eibachs or any other spring set. If you want to save some bucks, go for a spring set first. If you want to do it right from day 1, go for the Steeda coil over system.

Thanks for advise. I am from Europe so I want to do that right from the beginning as I do not have here specialist in Mustangs. I need to buy what I want and they will just install it. I need to know that I have got the proper parts. When during installation some part will be missing I will have to wait another up to 2 months to get that part from USA.
Can you please post for me link to that complete „Steeda coil over system” I was on their Web site but there is so many different sets and stages that I do not know which one you talk about.

Thanks. Did you install only that or some other items as well - that are suggested to replace when you lower a car? like:
Steeda Bumpsteer Kit
Front Control Arm Relocation Kit
Steeda Adjustable Comp Upper Control Arm
Steeda Chrome Moly Lower Control Arms
Lower Control Arm Relocation Bracket
Steeda Comp Adjustable Race Panhard Bar
etc.
