Default Lowering the car

I'm lowering my Mustang soon and I wanted to make sure I'm buying the right parts. My Mustang's a daily driver in the summer. I take it to the drag strip a few times a year and I rarely take it to the track. So what I want is just a nice lower look and if I can take the on ramp a bit quicker it would be nice.

I decided on Eibach Pro-Kit springs and KYB GR-2 shocks/struts. From what I understand that should drop about 1.5".

Is that a good combo?

I think it's a great combo, I'm sure the other guys will tell you LCAs and subframe connectors but that's about the same set up I have and I love it.

i would get different shocks/struts, I had the GR-2 and they are not much better than stock, if at all.

I went with steeda springs and kyb, but i'm looking to move those shocks and struts so I can do something different. They are not bad, it's just I think there's something out there that's better.

kyb agx's ftw...im still running stock shocks with h&r super sports and i love them. it didnt slam the car like a honda on ebay coilovers but it lowered it enough to make it look good...unlike the stock stance which is close to a 4wd truck!

i noticed whoever had my car before me put kybs on it in the rear, but everything else looks stock, any way i can tell what model they are? they are white with red lettering if that helps.

Will the camber change by lowering the car?
