Steeda and Koni installed....
Finally had time to install the Koni's and the Steeda Sport springs. Also installed the Steeda HD Strut mounts...
Car is solid and the drive is perfect. I like the stance too, still has the Mustang aggressive look with the tail a bit higher. Drop is 1" in the front and 1.25" in the rear...
Jack in position
Removing the torque bar
Securing the wheel assembly
Old strut assembly removed
Koni's installed
HD Strut Mounts, top side
Love the way it sits
Front wheel
Rear wheel

Not the best picture, but you get the idea....I wish the wheels was 1" more offset. That will fill the gap nicely.

The springs are stiffer than OEM, but not so bad that your fillings fall out of your mouth. I did take it around a 90 degree corner at about 90mph, both front and rear tires got loose, but the power slide was very well balanced and controllable 
PS. We have thank Sam Strano, he's the one who recommended this setup!

As far as tools are concerned....had to use a 19mm socket on the strut compressing clamps.
Sockets 10mm, 13mm, 15mm and 18mm.
Socket Wrench
Torque Wrench (up 150lbs)
Wrench - 9mm, 18mm (not sure on the 9mm, used to hold the strut shaft)
Floor Jack
Jack Stands (x2)
PS. Not sure how to torque the bolt on the top of the strut. I used a shifting wrench on it, think it may be 20mm or 21mm.
