Lowering Kit...will this work?
Long time lurker and 1st time posting, great site! I have an 05 Mustang GT and want to lower it, but on a budget. I am primarily looking for appearance and a little better handling for "spirited driving". Car does not go to the track, just street driven and not my daily driver.
After numerous searches and reading the 30 some page sticky I plan to order the Eibach Pro Kit with the adjustable Panhard bar. In the future I will be ordering the Tokico struts, but can't get everything right now, will this set up achieve what I am looking for? Thanks

Yes.
But FWIW, if you are paying to have a shop install the springs, just wait until you get the Tokicos and get them installed at the same time. It's more of an issue for the fronts, as the rears can be put on independent of the springs. But for the fronts, the struts have to be (or really should be to do it safely) removed and put back on with the different springs.
Dont forget camber bolts or camber plates for front-end alignment afterwards.

I did everything together and it saved time and money

Appreciate the responses! I will be doing the work (minus alignment), so money/time spent in a shop is not an issue. I bought the car at the end of last year and want it mostly complete for this summer, after tires/wheels, exhaust, cai/tune, etc... there is not a lot of $$$ left over for a complete drop. Again, just need to get through this summer and not driven daily, so the Pro Kit, Panhard Bar and Camber Bolts and/or Plates should accomplish this, correct? Sorry for all the questions, this is my 1st car, have mostly been a lifted truck guy thanks
