ONLY springs and a panhard bar?

Hey everyone,
I've been pouring through the forums and the local buy-and-sell. One person is selling a Eibach Sportlines for $240 and a whiteline adjustable panhard for $170.
Someone else is selling Ford Racing Type K springs for $150.

My question is, what would you guys choose, and will I need anything else?

I won't be tracking the car or drag racing. It's a daily driver and will stay that way. My driveway isn't really steep but there are plenty of speed bumps and potholes in the city.
I haven't really decided if I want 1.5" drop or 2.0" drop.

Money is a little tight so I plan to do the install myself with a few mustang friends. My main question, can I buy just the springs and panhard for now? Can I get by on that for 2-3 months until some more cash flow let's me get more?

My friend installed a full BMR suspension on his 2014 GT. Upper and lower control arms or re-location brackets? He bottoms out on his driveway and speed bumps. I wouldn't want to be THAT low, but I'm sure I could suffer through it if that was the case.

You will need a new set of shocks. The stock shocks dont work well with a lowered car. I wouldnt install the springs now and shocks later. I would recommend waiting until you have all of the parts before installing.

I'm lowered using steeda sport springs with a bmr panhard bar. I have no problem with the ride quality using the stock shocks although I do plan to replace them at some point.

Shocks, Struts & Springs all require the same labor ... so doing it at the same time will save you money on the install!

Best Regards,

TJ
