Alrighty, time to get her dropped a bit and improve handling while I'm at it.
This is a daily driver, probably will never see the track other than a drag strip
What do to you think? Do I need anything else? For a 11 GT auto

- Panhard Bar
- Eibach pro system plus
- Eibach Pro-Alignment Camber Adjustment Bolts
Or should I just get camber plates instead of the bolts? Kinda expensive for them though

 

You should be good with all of that. You may want to look to upper control arms for the strip to help prevent wheel hop on hard launches. Most people go with strut mounts in addition to the camber bolts but with your car being newer you may not need them as badly. The bolts are fine for daily driving solutions for camber adjustment.

 

u should be fine with camber bolts, thats what i did!!

 

Yep, Pro-kits won't drop you enough where you need plates to get your specs dialed in. Bolts should be enough.

 

lower control arms, and some people find that there shocks and struts wear out much faster when they drop it, it is recommend that you change those out as well when you drop your car.

A third option is the Steeda HD strut mounts, which also feature camber adjustability. On the earlier S197s they were better suited to lowering then any of the Ford mounts, and this may still be true.

Using half-strength bolts (based on the torque spec compared to OE) in the suspension makes me a lot uneasy.

Don't need camber bolts with that drop. You do need to align the car to zero out the toe.

The Eibach Pro System Plus is not a drag oriented setup, although you mentioned drag racing. Our street-strip customers really like the Strange 10-way shocks & struts.

 

Alrighty, put the order in this morning. Will use this thread to put up pics once put on.

Thanks for everyones help!

 

You're going to love that setup! That's the exact same setup that we put on Project Blackout, our 2012 GT project car build. Check it out:


It's perfect for someone that wants the car to handle well as a a daily driver, but still not hurt you if you take it to the track on the weekend once in a while. The reduction in nose dive during braking is crazy and the car will handle like it's on rails, much more comfortable. Definitely take a look into the upper adjustable and lower non-adjustable control arms in the future to stop wheel hop, which will apply mostly towards hard launches on the street or drag strip.

Hope this helps! Definitely post up some pics when you get it all installed. We'd love to see!

Recieved panhard bar, dtrl splice and camber bolts from AM today.
Started to freak out when my eibach kit didn't show up with panhard bar.

They are on back order for 6-8 weeks... cancelled that order.

So, off to hunt for new kit, will update when selected.
