Default Check your Pro-Kit springs

never mind!

i found out that the # printed on the front spring is not the same # as Eibach uses for the whole kit!
So your front pro-kit spring should say 35101.001 for the GT.
let me know what the number stamped on your rear springs is.

35101.001 for front, 35101.002 for rear as well. Mine were purchased by a member here on the forums though, and I've got an 07 V6(if it matters)

Default RE: Check your Pro-Kit springs

so I called Eibach and they verified I have the correct springs.

They siad it could very well be that the reason I'm having the poor suspension handling (bottoming out on dips, too much travel in the suspension) may be due to the fact that my stock shocks/ struts had over 27,000 miles on them before the install.

So now I'm at the point where if I want to keep my GT I'll have to sink more $$$ into the suspension. And, as I've advised others, if doing the suspension I'll need to do more than just replace the dampers, but do the whole thing. Which means another $2000, since I can't do the labor myself.

Maybe I'll just keep looking for a deal on a new Mustang! Those Sheby GT-C's are getting old just sitting at the dealer's lot!

You only have to pay $500 for Tokico's. You don't need EVERYTHING!

But if you can afford a new mustang, then good luck

I had over 27k when I did mine and I have no idea what you are talking about. My front end is stiff and I am at about 50k now.

The dampers make a huge difference. I could not imagine driving my car without them on our LA freeways... The 405 freeway right where both of us (over Santa Monica Blvd) exit is horrible... The first time I drove over that section of the freeway, I did not have my dampers installed. As soon as I hit the "santa monica bump" it felt like I caught air in my car... The stock suspension completely bottomed out... After the damper install, the ride is still a little rough at times, (especially with the 20's) but, the Eibach dampers did make a HUGE difference. I have the Eibach Pro System Plus which includes, springs, sway bars, bushings, dampers, etc.. If my car has not sold, the next time I see you I will let you drive it.


Also, Burge Ford will do your install for about $350 bucks...
