1. Eibach Prokit
2. 1.5 inches
3. $148.00 shipped (e-bay)
4. Ride is "stiff" to say the least, esp. in front
5. 30 min for rear 1.5 hr for front (Taco Bill has a write up) Easy to do, don`t even need a spring compressor for the Prokit

EDIT: If your car has the "chuckle" front end noise, buy the revised bearing plate/mount from Ford and install while you have the strut apart.

Roush rear springs and shocks.
$300 MossMustang
3/4" drop in the rear to level things out a bit.
Ground grabbin traction, little stiffer (thats what she said).
1 hour install.

If you drop your car much more than an inch, you will mess up the stock suspension geometry.

See how the side rocker panel is now parallel to the ground?
No nasty rake no more. I'll stuff the openings with larger tires
and rims in the future. No $$ to burn here at this moment.
