I was doing my springs & caster camber plates part of yesterday and today and decided to take a few of random pics. There are no complete after shots, because it got dark right as I finished this evening. After I wash it tomorrow I will get some good after shots. And I am by no means a professional photographer, so sorry if the pics don't look too good.

Stock ride height, back view.


Engine bay b4 c/c plates.


Tire off, starting spring install


Caliper off, hanging by clothes-hanger.


Then I supported the A-arm with the jack, and removed the strut (in preparation for the c/c plates). Notice the top nut and bushing on the sway bar is removed too.


This is with the pressure relieved on the A-arm. I disconnected the tie rod just to be safe.


Here's what it looked like after the spring was gone.


Front Eibach spring vs. front stock spring.


Old strut plate and strut removed.


Caster/camber plate installed with the strut in place.


Half-way done... front Eibachs are installed... about to do the back.


Front view. Back end is jacked up... about to do rear springs.

it looks really good. great job doing the springs yourself. You didnt upgrade the struts and shocks?

ayrton02

Thanks. Nah, I'm putting the shocks/struts on hold for a while (lack of money), hopefully I'll find another job after spring semester and everything will be good.

You need new tie rod ends and brakes, pronto!

ayrton02

No monies!!! It drove (and stopped) fine around the block.. lol. I'm gonna get an alignment Mon. after class. Everything else will have til wait until the summer at least.

How critical is it that I get the tie rods and brakes????

Oh, and thanks Ryan for the write up and help/advice along the way!

Same goes with Atlantic Blue mustangs


I hate student budgets too =/. But ya, you sorely need to upgrade your breaking system, I fear for ur safety brotha haha.

You should wait at least a weeks so that the springs can break-in.

I think I'll do that... because when I drove it around afterwards, the wheel was dead straight when I let go. So if anything, it probably only has a camber issue. I only drive about 100 miles max per week so that shouldn't kill the tires.

MOAR pics! All of these are after shots...
