Sportlines Pinion Angle?
I will be installing some eibach sportlines this week on my 2012 Mustang GT. Will my pinion angle be unacceptable or way out of spec. Also, will I be able to go without an adjustable panhard bar for now?

I ordered the sportlines kit from AM also the kit was the 1.7 in the front and 2.? in the front it came with new sway bars bumpstops and everything. I highly recoment the full suspension kit. The only thing i changed was my panhard bar after droping it it was out a little.as far as the pinion angle everything worked out well. i suggest you change you LCA's while your at it. Heads up somethin i learned after the fact make sure if your changing the sway bars you tourq the bolts while the suspension is under a load.

The full kit makes a world of difference with the car. It handles like its on rails a whole lot less squat but if you don't change you LCA's you'll have wheel hop and not changing you shocks and struts they will wear out faster due to the less travel. Here's a pic of mine with sporlines.

yea it'll work for now.. if you didn't get new bump stops your gonna need to cut some off the factory ones. The springs are a easy install just get a good alignment. Good luck hope everything works out well..

Your gonna want to put the new s/s on at the same time you do the springs. The factory s/s don't have a lot of travel when you drop it. The rides gonna be a lot stiffer due to the lack of travel and they won't hold up to long specially driving in La. Might wanna wait till you have the funds to do both at one time better to do it rite the first time rather than have to do it twice. Just my recommendation but its your ride.

I'm currently running the eibach because they came with my kit I drove from La to Oklahoma after the install and I love the ride but some might recommend the konia yellow I think I spelled that rite lol..
