RE: do i need caster/camber w/ 4cyl springs???
Do the 4 cyl springs actually lower your car? I had an original 4cyl to 302 motor change over notch & my 4 cyl.springs in the car didnt lower the car or have that appearance, in fact the front end actually set higher after the motor conversion. I am just curious?

It all depends on how much camber you are after.
Lowered Mustangs gain negative camber and that is definately hard on wide tire for wear but negative camber actually increases cornering. Especially at low speeds.
