You'll notice/feel a difference even with a 1" drop

Hm i was also wondering about this... If i plan on getting Longtubes down the road would it just be better to go with a 1" drop? I live in oklahama so there are alot of bad roads... Then i guess i wouldnt need cc or shocks/struts at all would i?

that is the reason I'm going with coil overs=P

RE: Very confused LOWERING

its costing me about 2400 for my whole setup, mm coil overs, c/c plates, panhard bar, lca, and a torque arm. Install will be about 200 I think, I will be doing almost all the install myself except for the torque arm

RE: Very confused LOWERING

no, it would help if you were undecided between shorties or long tubes. coil overs are adjustable in height, so I could have my car go from ride height down to a 2 " drop, the coil overs with shocks/struts/cc plates cost about 1500 and is one of the best handling setups I know of. I am a huge fan of autocross and with the coil overs the ride quality as well as the comfort of corner will be increased by alot, I have ridden in a stang with a similar setup as I am going for, just my friends was minus torque arm and panhard bar.
