Default Lowering Car

I'm thinking of lowering my car... Besides new springs what else would I need?... I'm not looking at dropping it very far, maybe 1.5'. Any suggestions on what springs to go with. I was thinking of edelbrock or possibly H&R.

You could get Ford Racing C Springs or Eibach Pro Kit for a drop about just over an inch. You could also go for Eibach Sportlines or H&R sport springs for a bigger drop.

If I were you, I would also get Caster/Camber plates and Shocks/struts.

Depending on what springs you get, you may not need cc plates (get them anyways), but since you have an 02, I do recommend you going with new shocks and struts. I have Steeda springs with KYB shocks and struts. Got them from LRS in a package.

I just put "C" springs on mine and I like them. The springs were $140 delivered from American Muscle and $120 installed from a local Mustang shop. They are not as low as the other springs, but that is fine by me.

What do you have to do to get the front wheel wells down to the tire? I've got the Eibachs, but there is still a few inches.
