RE: need to lower my ride,but what to get?
well,this is what i have come too...
d-spec w/ eibach = $700-$750 = seems to be a tried and true combo,but height is not adjustable
d-spec w/ ground control coilovers = $850 = fully adjustable, ground control used to be good stuff,not sure about now days?
nex full coilovers = $900 = no one knows anything about them, VW guys like them but have not found any mustang guys with them, height is fully adjustable
eibach full coilovers = $1100 =fully adjustable and made by a well know manufaturer.
i plan to do 20's,do i need adjustable?i want them to tuck in pretty good,what drop do i really need with out messing up too much?

RE: need to lower my ride,but what to get?
Well, can't give you any personal experience w/ either...YET. I have been researching for awhile and also got some help here on the forum. After all my research, I decided on the Eibach pro kit with the D-spec strut/shocks. Also definitely doing a customadjustable panhard bar. I got the d-specs from http://www.hotpart.com/index.php?p=show&id=131and the Eibach pro kit from http://www.stangsuspension.com/store...?idproduct=472

how easy is it to change the height on a coil over set up?

Thenget under there with a spanner wrench and screw the
collar up and down to adjust ride height.
Not sure about the needed clearance to swing
the spanner wrench at ride height, but probably
need to jack it up to adjust. Maybe removing
the tire/rim makes it easier.
Google - adjusting coilovers.

RE: need to lower my ride,but what to get?
well,update on my decision.....
i went for the nex full coilovers,i googled them and found a ton of people who liked them and only a few people who didnt.plus i found them for $625 shipped after using a on-line coupon.so i guess maybe i will be the ginnie pig and see if these are any good.Nex is a division of a higher more well known company that makes wheels,ADR.
