RE: What is involved in lowering a 'stang?
Springs, and you should do dampers, too, so you don't get the dreaded "pogo effect"..
Depending on the drop, you'll need adjustable PBH, adjustable LCAs, aadjustable UCA, Caster/Camber plates, maybe cam bolts, all sorts of stuff.
Lowering a car (more than 1" or maybe 1.5")correctly takes a lot of $$ and work. It requires special tools to get it all done correctly (alignment rack, for one)..
After speaking with my body shop, and getting a feel for how bad it's going to be with the side exhaust, I think I'm going to bag mine. I can set it down for shows and whatnot, and then pick it up to drive it and not damage the exhaust. They quoted me $3500 installed, with a compressor, etc etc.. That'll be next winter's project, along with some other custom stuff.. The shop has some CRAZY ideas for a widebody kit, maybe stick like 335's out back..
