Lowering Springs
Hey guys!
I've got a 2013 PP. I was going to take advantage of American Muscle's Memorial Day sale and get some Eibach Pro springs and I have some questions. I was also debating on getting the Ford Racing GT500 style strut mounts (http://www.americanmuscle.com/frpp-g...ount-0512.html) and was wondering if it would be worth it. Also, I've read about people getting a new panhard bar with their springs, bumpsteer kit was also reccomended. All I'm trying to do right now is lower my ride hight a little so I don't want to spend a crazy amount of money but I don't want to skimp out either. Adding up all those parts puts me over $600. If I HAVE to do it then I'm ok with it but I'd like to save a little money than that if at all possible.

Strut mounts won't be too necessary unless if you really want to go all out. With aftermarket springs, you stock struts will wear over time. I would consider doing what i did; use your upgraded springs till you can afford struts, and with the struts order the strut mounts and install at the same time. Panhard bar is a hit or miss... It will help keep your rear end aligned through the turns but isn't really necessary unless if you are going further into suspension. good luck!

The drop with the pro kit will shift your rear end out just a bit, which is where the adjustable track bar comes in handy. And it does tighten up the rear end a bit on launches and in corners. However, most won't be able to tell the difference.
I do not know about the new strut setup, but on the 05+, the strut mounts can come apart very easily during install if you are not careful. If you are careful, you will be fine with stock until you can afford struts.
Other than that, drop it and have fun in the twisties.
