yup, we did.

Indeed. However, it still moves when you lower the car. When you lower the car, it will move even further. If you want to put it back to stock (or centered), then you need the adjustable panhard bar.

So i've compiled a list of things needed.

1.Spring kit
2.Panhard bar
3.Camber bolt kit

Anything else so i can use for future reference? Shocks/Struts?

If your thinking of shocks and struts, now is the time. You have to take the front struts off to install springs so changing them now install is freeish. The rear shocks have to be unbolted 1/2 way so you save money there too.

What's the estimate of lowering a car and having a good ride? What will the range be(money wise)?

Yep i agree save a few extra bucks and just get the Tokico's now. That is what i did. Figured why do the work twice better to wait a little longer and buiy the shocks and stuts and do it all at once. I was actually going to buy new stuts mounts and the boots as well from Ford so i could literally take out teh stcokers and slap the new setup in without having to deal with using a spring comressor. The strut mounts are cheap but ford does not sell the boots and bumstop seprate you ave to buy the whole struts assembly to get the boots. Not sure why they did that.

i am an alignment tech, and at our shop we charge $46 for a thrust angle alignment. i havent done an 05+ yet but i have an eibach pro kit sitting at the shop for my car. we also stock eccentric bolts to fit just about everything. ford says to adjust the camber to just grind the hole in the strut untill it is right, but the bolts are a lot easier.

Some negative camber is actually desirable on the street. I think the BMW guys are running -1.5 degrees if I remember correctly (I might be wrong). But tire wear will be a problem. But the car will actually handle better as the tire will be flatter in the corners.

When you take a stock car out on a track, normally most cars will wear the outside of the tire. But on the street it is fine.

I just lowered my 06 GT with the eibach pro kit last week. I noticed that the camber is off slightly and the wheels point inward a little. I called the shop that did the instal and they said this was OK and wouldnt wear like I thought. Is there any truth to this or are they just not wanting to finish the job?
