ADJ, Panhard bar is only needed if rear axle is out of alignment. I installed my Pro-kit, and my axle was dead on. Now is is a good idea to have one for later Mod's, but is not necessary, if you don't have the money to pony up at the start.

 

Man that has to be a harsh ride...

 

I got my Pro-kit installed last week and definitely feel it has worsened the ride. Number one is that the steering wheel shakes when I go over 60 and it is too soft over high speed surface changes on the freeway. Almost like it's bottoming out when I drop down on the other side of a bridge.
The steering also feels too loose when I turn it side to side.

I'm going to have to come up with a list of parts I will need to get it back to at least the same quality of ride as stock.
I consider stock ride to be an 8 on a scale of 0-10. With just the Pro-Kit it's like a 6!
So it looks like the adjustable Tokicos, dampers and adjustable camber plates are on my belated X-mas wish list?
Anyone know of a shop that will do this in the L.A. area? Maybe we can show up as a group for a Mod Fest!

 

Your steering wheel shakes when going over 60? Sounds like ur allignment is off or something, i think it has nothing to do with the PRO-Kit IMO

 

^^^ +1

 

If your steering wheel is shaking, then your tires need a rebalancing. The suspension has nothing to do with steering. I had the same problem. I went to discount and got a 4 wheel balance and now its perfect.

 

oh man!
I'm ticked off!
I paid for an alignment too.
You think they didn't even bother to balance the wheels after they painted them?
And would the paint really make that much difference?

 

I haven't read the posts, but I had the Eiback lowering springs for about 3 months. Thought the ride was OK but definately thought it should've been better. Installed the tokicos, holy schmoly, I wish I had them from the beginning!

 

save your money and get the new AIRride suspension. its fully adjustable from tall granny ride to slammin race ready at the flick of a switch. VERY impressive. otherwise i recommend doingadjustable dampers but not TOKICOs. i had two sets blow out on me within a few months and ended up going with KYBs and was very happy with them.

 

I got the Eibach pro-kit and the adjustable Tokico D-specs at the same time. I have it set on the "comfort" setting and it is pretty close to stock but definitely NOT stock. [8D] You can feel the bumps more, it is a bit louder (hard to describe), but no complaints here. I also have an adjustable panhard bar which the performance shop recommended . I drove a buddy's 06 GT that has the pro-kit and adj panhard bar and it really droveharsher IMO.

Sometimes I miss the stock "cadillac" ride this S197 Mustang has...but the looks and handling absolutely outways a few more bumps and rattles. Good luck in whatever you decide.
