Default Lowering ?

So I have plans to put on Eibach Sportlines this weekend, with an Edelbrock adj panhard, and I would like to know if this setup will damage my cars suspension..?

I have seen posts saying the stock shocks/struts leak and will not last me..
Is this correct, or can I get away with just changing the springs and adding a panhard?

Also, how long should it take a body shop to install a adj panhard?

Thanks.

Thanks.. but Ill have my springs on already by then..

I talked to the shop and they said they've done tons of Sportline drops and kept the shocks stock.. I don't know if that means I'm in the clear, but I think I'll eventually go with Tokico shocks anyway. Either the HP's or the D-Specs.. I'm not sure.. depends if I want to spring (pun..lol) for the adjustable ones..

Thanks for the reply Ray.. I like the mods you got goin on.
the spring should look nice with your 19's..

I've had mine done a year and no leaking or damage, it really should be ok, there will be a rougher ride but not bad. Panhard done by a shop should take 1/2 hour including adjustment, 15 more realistically!!!! Good luck and enjoy the new look of your stang.

Have the Eibach ProKit with stock shocks/stuts for a few months now, no problems except forharsher ride quality.Geting some better shocks with my tax returnto help with that, though.
