RE: SPRINGS
What brand of lowering spring did you buy. You might have to replace the spring isolators if still good use but replace with
urethane if worn out. Also you might need caster camber plates depending on how the car is lowered. And eventually the you
might want to consider upgrading the stock struts and shocks with performance units like Bilstein and Koni. After installing your
springs have the car's alignment done as well. Good Luck,

i bought some sprint springs from my friend they were brand new and retail for $189.99 and i bought them for $100. they're supposed to lower 2 inches. i bough the bushings and i'm probably going to buy new shocks now while i'm at it. (no sense putting the springs in and not the shocks) but i'm not sure what else i NEED. i know i can get a camber plate to help but as far as neccessities he said all i'll need are the bushing and another part i forgot which he said will prevent me from hearing a metal scraping sound everytime i hit a bump in the road.

i'm not sure? i bought them from my friend because they didnt fit on his car but i find that kind of odd. he said it only dropped his car about and inch to an inch and a half but he said since my cars heavier it will lower it 2 inches. they sell the springs at california mustang and it says they will fit everything from 79-04

Those springs will work. You also might want to run a good set of performance shocks like Koni or Bilstein to
accomodate that 2in drop. It probably wouldn't not hurt to get a set of caster camber plates from MM.
Good Luck,
