New parts tomorrow.. finally!!
I ordered an eibach pro kit and pypes muffler deletes last week and it is supposed to be delivered tomorrow and I can't explain how excited I am. I am installing both this Weekend. New sound and look. I'm stoked.

The rear end is going to shift to one side. I went without a panhard bar for a while when I put my first set of springs in and you can notice the driveside wheel will stick out more then the passenger side. If you have stock rims you probably won't even notice since they are tucked inside the fenders.
Just make sure that when you do order one you get an adjustable. You may also notice that when you do your 1-2 shift (while getting on the gas) the rear end may break loose to that end.
Congratulations on the baby!

Congrats on both accounts!
Even with the minimal rear drop of my Roush springs, the rear end shifted about 3/4 in. towards the drivers side, but as others mentioned, it is not real noticable with stock tires/wheels. You will also have additional traction issues when launching hard as your LCA angle is going to be less than ideal... meaning the front mount will more than likely be lower than rear and you want the opposite for good traction. This can be fixed with a set of LCA brackets. Not necessary of course, just something else to consider.

as others have said, your rear axle will shift alittle, but if your still running your stock wheels, you may not even really notice it..

I may not put the lowering springs on yet. Would it be a good a good idea then for me to get some LCA's and adjustable panhard bar before I install the springs? Or is there anything else suspension wise I would need or is recommended before springs?
