Default EIBACH Who is Good

I am looking at loweing my 05 Stang convertible and I am leaning towards Eibach. I have a ROush so the body kit is a bit lower than stock GTs as it is now. I also have 20 inch rims on there. I was wondering if the PRO-KIT is good and anyone know a good place, good price and good peoplek to deal with. I see so many sellers on EBAY and the prices for the same item varies so much. Any help appreciated.!

A couple hundred is about the going price for pro's . I put mine in myself. Back-end was easy. Front you had better have a little mech. know how and the right tools. Plus you will need to realign your front end.

What about the Roush springs, i noticed they only lower the car 1 inch in front and 1 inch in rear. Eibacks is 1.5 inches i believe. SO many choices.

If you have 20's then I would get the Sportlines instead of Pro-Kit.

My mom has 20's on her drop top Converitble and has the steeda kit under her car. She loves it. Lowering the car is easy as hell. You can do it in less then 2 hours. Just get some camber bolts and when you put it back together put them in and go get it aligned. That way they can't charge you to have them installed.

That kit Mustang lowers it 1.6 inches in the front and a full 2 inches in the rear. Is that too much?

I really wouldn't recommend Eibach. I bought their Sportline kit and I had the front shocks replaced because there was a recall on them. While it was on the lift I discovered that the rear shocks were blown and leaking everywhere. This was in mid January and I am still waiting for my replacement shocks to arrive. Apparently they are out of stock and the arrival date keeps getting pushed back; now the date is late July. Anyone considering an Eibach kit for their car should know that both the pro kit and the sportline kit uses the same shocks (called pro-dampers). Chances are they will not be in stock and you will have to wait months for them. Also from my experience their productsare of poor quality and you will get poor customer service from Eibach as I have. I honestly regret buying them as they have been nothing but trouble, costing me my time and money.

I went with Vogtlands, nice ride and easy install. $197 shipped from Hotpart.com but yep you have to do a alignment still.
