I have ford c-springs. I would NOT want to go lower than these, they are perfect in my opinon. 1.5 in teh front 1 in the rear or something. 2+ inch drops on mustangs or any car for that matter look f'ing retarded. I dont have any recent pics... the one in my sig is like a year old. Lots of stuff has changed since then.

I have the pro kit. Just about right. Any lower & I would need C&C plates & avoid all speed bumps. Nice ride not really much stiffer.

I have to disagree. Here is a pic of my car after the eibach pro springs were installed. Imho it has just the right height and stance, but it is your car, do what you want.

Why do you need caster and camber plates if you drop it more than 2 inches?

Because you cant get it aligned... properly the inside of the wheels will wear out much before the outsides.
