Lowering Springs advice
Alright, so I was thinking about lowering my car with SR lowering springs from American Muscle. It would be a 1.5 inch drop. Is there anything that I NEED to do with the suspension if I do this or can I just do the lowering springs only? If there's nothing that I absolutely need to do, is there anything anyone would strongly advice me do?

We've made a blog post about the top 4 upgrades in regards to your suspension which goes into detail here that you can read about - http://blog.modbargains.com/lower-yo...the-right-way/
If you're getting JUST lowering springs, I would suggest adding a panhard bar to that list so that you can re-center the rear axle once you lower the car. Everything else isn't NECESSARY but I could recommend a few other items as well that would really help but if you're looking for the base essentials, here's what I would go for, these two items! Eibach specifically due to comfort levels being better than most anything on the market, and their million-mile warranty!
Eibach Pro-Kit Performance Springs Mustang V6/GT/Boss
Hotchkis Adjustable Panhard Rod Mustang
Hope that helps!

The 1.5" drop is perfect, also. This will allow you to basically just install the Springs and you'll be good to go. Caster Camber plates aren't necessary for a 1.5" drop or less. Like listed above, the only other thing I would invest in would be a Pan hard bar. When lowering your Mustang the differential can become un-centered. A Pan hard bar will correct that for you! This isn't a must, but I would definitely recommend it.
I hope this helps!

Great choice! You'll love the SR Performance Lowering Springs. They'll give you a much more aggressive stance, better handling, less nose dive when braking and much more!
