Thanks StowesStang for the pics. What kind of springs did you get? How much?

 

Thanks for the comments!!! [sm=kiss.gif] Hubby bought the Ford Racing 1.5 lowering springs.....they list for $225 at the Ford dealership.

 

stowes
did you have the dealership install the springs and did you get it aligned after?

 

Well I guess you could say the dealer installed because my husband is a Ford technician so he does all the work on my stang. As far as front end alignment, we have not yet done an alignment and Im not so sure that we will. The car is handling wonderful with the 20" wheels. There is absolutely no vibrations or pulls in either direction, its awesome!

 

Gman which is His and which is Hers?

 

Hey Stowes, Cool! I'll have to remember to pick your brain.... or actually your husbands brain. HaHa!

 

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!!!! Im not partial or anything.....but he's the best damm mechanic!!!! [sm=bounceybounce.gif]

 

Don't make the mistake of doing the springs only --and staying with factory struts. I did and now I'm paying double installation costs to go back and do the Tokicos. Do em both at one time.

 

Hey sandy, you don't say why you decided to go with the Tokicos. Was there a problem with just changing out the springs? I'd like to lower mine in the back only with Roush rear springs, or maybe the eibach Pro kit front and rear but don't want the extra expense of replacing the struts. A lot of people have said they did either of these without struts and were happy with the results.

 

I was told that installing the Eibach springs would not require using adjustable struts. I guess it's what you're looking for. In my case, after doing the springs only, I've been very disappointed with the drop in ride quality. Feeling bumps much more/ porposing when hitting larger bumps or dips in the road. Anyway, I've noticed a major worse ride from installing the Es only. Result --- I'm spending another installation $ to add the Tokicos. Like you say, I read where other folks are happy with keeping the factory struts/shocks.
