+1 on Camber bolts. Tire Rack sells them. Along with many other people. Theyre cheap and your alignment shop will put them in. I use them with my 1.5" drop on FRPP springs.

the reason im going with H&R racing springs is because they drop the front more than the rear, giving me the raked look

can someone give me a link to a good set of camber bolts, the only ones i find are 40$

Let us know how stiff they are. I was thinking about these a while back.

Not madatory if everything is in line, but if you notice that the body is not centered over the wheels, the only way to correct it would be an adjustable panhard bar.

If you are running really wide wheel/tire combo, you will need it to give you the proper clearance. The axle will shift to the driver side the lower you go. Basically, drop it and see if you need it and/or if it bothers you how it looks or handles.

I've done it plenty of times, and a lot, on these new Mustangs.
All you need to gain is no more than a 1/8".

For the bolt to shift back, you'd have to hit the top of the wheel and if you do, you'll have other things to worry about.
Don't forget that the lower bolt remain untouched and once everything is tight, it ain't moving.
