Default Suspension decision

I have been searching and cant seem to find a definate answer. I am lookin at getting the Eibach Pro Kit Springs from American Muscle because of the reputation from each. What else do I need to get? What is recommended to go along with it. I don't intend on racing at a track although I may go a few times just to see what I can do. It is my daily driver. I don't race too often although there are the occational challenges from ricers. I don't want to get things I dont need. Do I need new shocks/struts?

You don't really need anything. Caster camber plates aren't needed b/c you're only lowering about 1.5 inches, any lower and you would need them. You can get shocks/struts if you want but they aren't necessary.

If you lower a car without cc plates, you are losing some range of travel. Before I get flamed for saying that like I always do, call Stang Suspension or Maximum Motorsports and tell them your goals and they will tell you what you need.

CC plates are not needed for modest drops for alignment reasons but they do raise the mounting point up, regaining some of the lost suspension travel. If you want springs for looks, get a kit that doesn't need S/S. If you are getting a kit for performance, springs are only half of what you need and should by S/S.

I would say that the only negative I see on the Eibach's is that they are prone to sag in the rear over time.
