ok most of u prob know i lowered my car the other day with the eibach sportline springs..... my dad was tellin a freind of his that KNOWS alot of foxbody's and is a private mechanic for a guy who builds showcars and alcohol cars.......... when my dad said how low the car is now the guy told his it is wayyy to low and i shouldnt have got these springs.... he said after awhile it will destroy my suspension geometry....... is this true??? im not the only one with a fox this low............

I don't know how low your car is, but I know that if it's too low then it puts alot of wear on your suspension components and bump steer will throw your suspension geometry out of whack. I'd say go get it aligned by a GOOD alignment tech and check out the rest of your setup while your there. Make sure your tierods are good, controls arms, etc, etc. If you have the same eibach kit as me, there probably isn't too much to worry about. Buy a bumpsteer kit if you get too worried.

I got the proline. It's meant for performance the sportline is mostly for looks

bumpsteer is the concern, tierod ends, ball joints are all effected in one way or another

Yea, i'm not sure which one I have but I know it's pretty slammed. My 245/40/17's in the front BARELY clear it. It had 45 series sidewalls when I first bought it and they were rubbing. I set it up with 2 degrees of negative camber and zero toe and it handles beautifully.

If its dropped REALLY low, in order for you NOT to wear parts like crazy (read balljoints, tierods, tires), you need to get caster/camber plates and the offset bushings for your front lower control arms, I believe theyre already installed in the Motorsport (Ford racing) ones.

Yes those help too. Plus, you can adjust your camber alot more that way.

within the next month or two i will have ALL new control arms, cc plates, rear shock tower brace, strut tower brace, steeda bumpsteer kit, eibach front and rear swaybars, tokico hp shocks and struts, 17x10.5 and 17x9 deep dish bullits with 245's up front and 315's out back(ill make them fit lol) , and a k member brace..... do u think this will solve the problems .... and ill have it aligned in a week..... if u guys think i need new balljoints and tie rod ends and stuff then ill do that soon also

Get a bumpsteer kit or offset bushings for your swaybar. It can be corrected for the most part....depending on how slammed it is.
