My only other suggestion would be to get adjustable LCAs instead of the ones that come with the anti-wheel hop package. Reason is...you are lowered, and may need to adjust your pinion angle because of it.

I just had my suspension done, got it back yesterday. Got Eibach pro kit, Koni adjustables, Steeda HD strut mounts, and anjustable PHB. My car is not a daily driver but Iv had other Stangs that were lowered that rode like a hay wagon, thats why I did this car the correct way! Im very happy with this set up! Still rides great (even with my 20" wheels) and it handles 100% better and... no more wheel hop!!! I didnt do anything with the LCA's!

so its been over a month since i ordered everything and still havent received it all.
The good news is since the Dspecs and BMR anti-wheel hop kit were back ordered I was able to cancel the order and get better parts.

I now will be installing:
Koni Yellow Shock/Struts
Steeda Billet Aluminum LCAs
Steeda relocation brackets
Steeda HD strut mounts

to go with my steeda adj panhard bar, and eibach pro-kit springs.
Everything finally shipped so will hopefully have it all installed next weekend!

I'm sure you'll be happy with everything. I'm glad you decided to go with the Konis.
