Did you have to do a panhold bar?

What the hell! I ordered the Eibach 1.5" drop springs and panhold bar. That should finish out the look of the mustang.

'bout time you came to your senses! And as already pointed out, there is no way on Gods green earth your roads in Carolina are worse than those we toddle over here in the north country. I'm on Steeda Sports and have no issues at all.


You will also need adjustable upper strut mounts or "Camber bolts" to correct the camber.


Agreed with Ford20, you should have a front splitter as well. I like the one he recommends but it's structurally functional and costs a small fortune. Since most add the piece for looks, there are lot's of other nice choices out there that wont break the bank.

I lowered mine without getting an adjustable panhard rod or camber bolts. Afterwards, I had the alignment checked and everything was in spec. It really depends on how much you lower it, and how your car came from the factory. They're all different. You should probably be fine with just a 1.5" drop

I got the panhold bar and bolts just in case. I do not want my alignment to be off at all. My tires are too expensive to risk it. Plus they are staggered and I can not rotate them. I hope to have the springs installed this weekend. Next weekend is our local Mustang club show and want be ready for that.

I also have the interior out of the car and refreshing the seats. They will be completely red when I am done. I always wanted a black car with red seats.

The ride is a bit stiffer than I would like but not to bad. It looks way better. I have to say the rear springs were a pain in the *** to install because I got a convertible. I could not lower the rear end due to the body bracing. I had to use a spring compressor that was hard to get to the springs. It took me a full day to do the work.

I think you will get used to the stiffer ride, you must be very happy with the end result, looks good.

I am getting used to it. It is not as bad as I though it was going to be. I think it really changed the look of the car.

Yep, just attended a car show in Hilton Head, SC last weekend. Test drove a 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera S cabriolet while there too.

It is top down weather here now. That is why I love convertibles down here. However, it is the last show of the year.
