Default FINALLY Lowering, few questions.

Well, for my 17th b-day my dad is paying for me to get my car lowered, so I need to know if this is all that would be required to lower:

M&M Caster/Camber

Shocks & Struts

H&R Race Springs

Is that all I'd need? Also, is there any other places you'd reccomend buying from? And any techniques/hints for installing? I read the guide in the "How to" section, just wondering if there is anything else I should know, such as letting them set.

Thanks

Looks like you got all the parts that you need. You could probably get away without the caster camber plates but if you're dad is gonna buy them then go ahead and do it, they will only help.
I'm not very familiar with the tokico shocks but they look alright to me!
Installation is pretty easy, took me and my bro-in-law about 4 hours to do all four. A spring compressor will help IMO but is not needed.

Those prices are pretty high. Shop around a little more. Check out www.stangsuspension.com

Well, looking at stangsuspension, I can get KYB shocks/struts for a lot cheaper, I've heard of those before, but never Tokico, should I go with KYB?

Edit: Also, does anyone know the difference between the H&R Super Race Springs and the Race Springs?

Why race springs? I think the H&R Supersports are the best looking.

Maybe he's more of a racer?

Well, to my understanding, the Race will give a more raked look, and the super sport will just give a slammed look...

With 18s and a 2 inch drop you wont really need any caster camber. I have not had a problem with uneven wear at all.
