lowering questions
looking into lowering the stang (2011 v6) over summer after finals are done and had a couple questions.
as far as springs go i'm looking at the eibach sportlines (1.1F-1.7R) right now, altough i'm not looking to be slammed so to anyone who has a sportlines on their stang, how do you like them? the pro kit seems to not lower the car much at all so not really considering those. (.8F-1.2R)
i kno i need a adjustable panhard bar to realign the rear end.
but what about pinion angle, i've heard that both upper control arms and lower controls can adjust pinion angle so whats better?
also i kno i'll need fix the camber but can i get away with camber adjustment bolts (20$) instead of going full out and buying caster camber plates (300$)?
this is a dd that sees the track/strip maybe once every couple months, not a track car, also on a budget so probably wont be getting the shocks/struts to match.
any help would be appreciated thanks

with a mild drop you shouldnt have to worry about pinion angle, there are several threads about that, and everyone has there own way of adjusting it, upper and lower control arms can adjust this only if they are adjustable, your shocks and struts will wear out faster if you dont replace them when you do the drop.

well with the sportlines it'll be a pretty decent drop so i will be looking at fixing the pinion angle too, roush has a pretty good deal on steeda adjustable LCAs right now for 150 shipped.
and how fast are we talking here? about premature wear on the shocks n struts
