Suspension parts just arrived!!
So I just received my suspension parts today from StangSuspenion!
This Saturday I will be Installing Tokico D-specs, Eibach Pro Kits, And a BMR adjustable Panhard Bar. Just have to rent a spring compressor than I should be good to go! Thanks to TacoBill's stickys im pretty confident on how im going to go about this install.

the install on all those items is so easy have fun. the only hold up i had was getting the stock panhard out, the passenger side was really wedged into the bracket. and be careful when removing the springs from the compressor it can still be very dangerous, i sent one flying past my head into the front yard.
P.S. Make sure you do the spings and d-specs first, then lower the car measure the ride hight using chalk or grease pen on the rear shock, jack it up, install and torque the panhard at the NEW ride hight by jacking the rear axle up until the marks you made are lined up on the rear shock

will do thanks Redsox401 for the advice. I follow the steps on your post as stated. ''Make sure you do the spings and d-specs first, then lower the car measure the ride hight using chalk or grease pen on the rear shock, jack it up, install and torque the panhard at the NEW ride hight by jacking the rear axle up until the marks you made are lined up on the rear shock '' Thanks again!
