Alright spent today installing my Eibach Sportline springs in my GT and holy crap. This thing sits really low its almost scary. Used the mustangmonthly.com install guide for springs and shocks which worked perfectly. Tomorrow Im painting the brake calipers and just need to get my fenders painted some time soon.

Welcome to the "low...life" If you have not had a lowered car before be careful of speed bumps, curbs, pot holes, rail road crossings and for god shakes "back into parking spots" or you can kiss that nice spoiler good bye....... Besides that, enjoy the hell out of having a cool looking car that will handle like its on rails....

Looks damn good at that height! Nice job!

What fenders are those? I was looking at the GTS-R fenders from Cruizin Concepts which look very similiar to those. How was the fitment?

Looks great, did you just swap springs or did you upgrade to better shocks and braces. How much did that drop shift your rear?

yea what fenders are those? they look awesome. if i can make a recommendation before you get them painted. get the body shop to plug and sand the antenna hole. Then get a windshield mount antenna. That was my plan when i was going to get the gts-r fenders.

I hope you put on some CC plates and an adjustable PHB.

degeze

yes, welcome .

Sabik

do you really need the CC plates and change the PHB to an adjustable one when lowering? im lowering mine this week and im not sure if i should get all that, some people say yes, some no.....I have 20"

You will probably need the adjustable panhard bar due to you having wider than factory wheels, after lowering, the body of the car may not be perfectly in line with the wheels.
I didn't need CC plates but I did need camber bolts ($30). Go ahead and lower it, then take it to the alignment shop and if the camber can't be adjusted to within factory specs, give them the camber bolts. It's better to have them and not need them than need them and not have them . If they are not needed then sale them, someone is always looking for a set.

Well, I am NOT an expert but I have learned quite a bit since I have gotten this car. to answer your question........it all depends on how much you plan on lowering it. If it is a slight drop, such as 1-1 1/2", then you should be fine with out CC plates. Now if you you are going more extreme, such as s 2" or more, I HIGHLY recommend the CC plates.

My opinion is to put on an adjustable panhard bar on no matter how much you drop it.

Think about it........it's all in geometry and engineering. If you lower the car, you are changing everything angle wise.
