tick, tick, tick......
The Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs landed yesterday....I'll be happy with a 1" drop. I also re-ordered a set of Boss 302S wheels...they were back-ordered with no ETA from another vendor, and a fellow forum-ite refered me to Levittown Ford Superstore where they were over a C-note cheaper, even with shipping.
I'm also awaiting Eibach 1" wheel spacers...hope I didn't make a mistake there. After ordering, I stumbled Boss 302 pics and it appears the offset brings the rolling stock out further to the edge of the wheel openings than my stock wheels/tires. I may not need the spacers. But I'm not running a staggerared set...all 4 are 19 X 9's.
Oh well, won't know until everything gets here....then I can make an appointment with my local Goodyear store and get everything installed and mounted. I can't wait.
Geeze....haven't even made my first payment yet on the Mustang.

Hope the wheels look as good on my black 'vert as they do this white Boss:

The pics are deceiving. Try to remember the scale that you're looking at. I will bet that the 1" spacers will work just fine with those wheels and they'll look really good. I'd still consider the Koni STR.T shocks and struts while you're doing the springs. It's just not worth it to run the stock stuff on lowering springs, no matter how mild. They will wear out quicker. They won't ride as good as they do now. You're going to pay two install charges to do it right the first time, and you can get the Koni Oranges right now for about $360 shipped from the forum vendors....just wait one more month on the suspension and do it right. 
You'll also most likely need an adjustable PHB to center your axle (around $100-150) and the Eibach camber bolts (around $30) to correct your camber after lowering.
