I am thinking about getting a set of 2" lowering springs. I've been told that I will need a set of caster camber plates, and a set of offset bushings for the car. Do you guys know if I need any of this? Any help would be great!

 

not sure about the bushings but you will need the plates, their gonna keep your car running in a straight line

 

I've been told that I can lower the car 1.5 inches and not use the caster camber plates. Do you know anything about this? This might help me make a decision about a 2.0" or 1.5" drop. Thanks again!

 

i have my car lowered 1.5 with no cc plates its been
that way for years with no problems same thing
with the offset rack bushings dont have either

 

Your best bet with 2" is to go with the cc plates and the offset rack bushings. With a 1.5", which I have, you don't HAVE to have either.... cc plates will help with either choice of drops, as will ORBs. As far as mine goes, without ORBs I have minimal bump steer. I may eventually go with ORBs to eliminate it all together. I am sure with a 2" and no ORBs I would notice it much more, if it were even tolerable. 1/2" may not seem like a lot, but the geometry of the mustang front end is set up in such a way that actually 1/2" is a lot. 2" without either helper item would be a pain in the rear IMHO. Good luck with everything, and let us know how it goes.

 

a 1.5" drop is not even worth it in my opinion. mine is dropped with eibachs and it looks stock.

 

thanks for the info!!! I guess I will go with 2" springs and caster camber plates with offset bushings.

 

Anytime you drop a Mustang C/C plates are a good idea. If you alter the stock ride height, the front end geometry will go out at least slightly. My 1996 GT was lowered 1.5" without the C/C plates. Where the alignment wasnt off badly, you could still notice excessive wear on certian ares of the tires. Stock plates dont allow hardly any adjustments. The cost of C/C plates is miniscule compared to continuous adverse tire wear. Rubber can get expensive, all Mustang guys should know that .
