Thinking about lowering my ride a tad after I get 3.73s installed...

 

I haven't done mine yet, but from what I have read, you probably will be right on the negative end of the range for camber (-1 degree?) if you lower the car about 1" without camber bolts or caster/camber plate.

For handling that is actually a good thing, the road racers want even more negative camber than that.

But for tire wear it is a bad thing.

So it depends on how much you drive the car and whether you value handling or tire life more.

 

Judging by some of the OP's earlier posts and how few miles he puts on his Mustang annually, I wouldn't add any camber-adjusting parts, just go with the springs (although ideally struts/shocks too) and live with the extra negative camber you get. Handling will improve with the slightly higher degree of negative camber in front.

 

get the camber bolts or wear your tire out quicker than you would like.

 

Spec is -.75 +/- .50

Mine went to -1.2 degrees after a 1"drop.

Still technically within spec, but definitely at the high end. I installed Camber bolts for $30 and brought it back to -.9

 

What's the best place to buy these bolts

 

Napa parts store should have them.....I think.

 

Adjustable Panhard bar will do

For optimum handling, you should

But since you live in DC metro area, you could probably skip it since, as mentioned, camber and caster will still fall within Ford's specs
