Default Suspension question

I wanna lower the ride, but dont wanna have to deal with getting new struts/shocks and c/c plates just yet. So would the Eibach pro-kit be the kit for me? I know eventually down the road I'm gonna put wear and tear on my shocks/struts and I'm gonna have to eventually buy some c/c plates. But I just want the look and somewhat of a better contolled ride. I'll probably just keep the springs for about 6 months and then get everything else. Does this sound good? And if anyone has pics of their car with the pro-kit and nothing else please post some. Thanks.

6 views and no answer. What the hell. J/k, I guess most people go with the complete suspension package. I guess I'm just a cheap bum.

IF you keep your drop less than 1.5, then common belief is that you don't need bumpsteer or CC plates. I bought the DZSports (2 inch drop). I added Prothane isolators and lost some of my drop. I did install the aluminum offset rack bushings and got an alignment. So far, no problems at all.

The only disappointment is that the front drop was very little. However, I think I know the problem and will fix it next month.

Other than that, I love it. 1.5 looks very good.

I have the Eibach Pro-Kit and when I first got it, I ran it for like 3 years without changing anything else.

I installed the FRP M-5400-A Mustang performance suspension package. It is a deal for the $389. it cost. It basically lowers the car .75 inch, kicks up the springs in front to 600 lb in, rears 250 lb in, includes top shelf Tokico shocks, and front and rear stabilizer bars with bushings. I purchased mine from Blue Oval industries, he's in VA, so I saved shipping.

you can always go the fox body s/s route if you are a "cheap bum". you can get some foxbody s/s for under $160.

Thanks everyone. I think my next mod will either the Eibach prokit, or 4.10 gears.
