TTT

seems like i can piece together the same things for just about the same price. so what to do?

the eibach kit is around 232.99
the KYB shocks and struts, for both front and rear pairs, comes out to about 179.99.

approx 412 all together, not including shipping i dont think.

the ebay kit is around 416 with shipping.

If you want a good lowering kit that comes with shocks and struts, get the eibach pro-system plus. Everything is designed to work with each other. I got it and it rides great. I would say it rides smoother than stock, handles a hell of a lot better, and sits 1.5" lower

I know I have a different style Mustang but I went with the Pro System plus as well. It was worth the cost. Then I added on from there. MM Caster Cambers, Panhard bar, Torque Arm, rear control arms, 99 cobra front a arms, and MM 4 pt. K member brace. Its a little rough for a street car but through the canyons it feels like its on rails. Works really well for Auto X. I am busting at the seems to get it out on to the track though around some real corners. I would stay away from any OEM style parts. Just and opinion.

Oh, BTW the PSP kit that I got came with sway bars as well. I am not sure if the kit is the same for the 93-and earlier style stangs.

I did find this though. slightly out of my budget, but i guess i can manage in a little more time.

Eibach Pro-system, not the plus.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/EIBAC...9876QQtcZphoto

680 or so shipped

Search around online...you can get H&R sport or super sports for around ~220 and look for seller jdmwerks on Ebay. They have Tokico HP shocks/struts for $262 shipped. Something like that will definitely set you straight.

im not sure of the good brands of shocks/springs, which is why i ask =/ I know eibach by name, but i also don't want to pay just for the name, when i know other aftermarket parts can do the job just as well. Any bundles I can find?
