I have 76000 Miles on my car and think im overdue for this upgrade due to crappy San Antonio roads. I currently have BMR non adjustable upper and lower control arms. After reading the sticky, I was thinking about going with the Eibach Pro-Kit Springs, J&M adjustable panhard bar, and either Tokico D-specs or the orangish non-adjustable koni srt.t. The reason i would go with the Koni's is because they around 120 cheaper than the d-specs. Is it worth it to spend the extra on the Tokicos, is this a good setup? Lowering the car with non-adjustable control arms is ok, correct?

The car will not be raced, it's just for a Daily driver who likes to hit the turns hard

I would go with the Koni's over the D-Specs. If you really want the adjustability, go with the Koni Sports.

And I would also consider a better riding spring than the pro kit, which is rather harsh. Steeda Sports would be a good choice, but it depends on how low you want to go.

I just upgraded a couple months ago to the Koni srt and steeda sports. Great set up for a daily driver. A bit stiffer ride but not jarring. I have adjustable tokico on my fox and 90% of the time never change the adjustments so didn't think the added cost was worth it.

See my setup for an idea. It works very well.....and I could drive it all day long.

The only change I would make is instead of using the gt500 mounts I should have upgraded to the steeda heavy duty mounts. You can hear the rubber mounts over large bumps. Slightly annoying not very loud.

The Steeda HD mounts also give you the ability to either set camber to Ford's preferred setting (-0.75°) or tune it to suit your driving.

Do I need to change the strut mounts?

You don't HAVE to. You can reuse the stock mounts but a lot of people notice clunking sounds if they do. See posts #6 and #7 above for the explanations.

I just replaced my springs/struts and mounts and went with the Steeda HD strut mounts. Great adjustments for the alignment and NO strange sounds at all.
