95GT lowering questions
Ok heres the question I need alittle help with lowering..I have a 95 GT hardtop
1. I have the Eibach Sportline springs...I've been told that I need to use the struts and shocks for the 79-93 fox body cars because of how low it will be with the Sportlines on....and that these fit best when it's lowered this far down on the model mustang....I've found a kit @ 50 Resto that come with the qaud shocks also in the kit....
Question can I use this quad shock or will I need to buy quad shocks for my year model ?
2. Now I know I need CC plates because I'm goin so low in the front....the question is which ones...BBK's.....MAC's.....Maximum Motorsports.....Steeda..I noticed that Steeda has 2 different types for my car a 3 bolt and a 4 bolt plate...has anyone used either??...also has anyone ever heard of C.A.M plates??....I found them on ebay...http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BILL...075722291QQrdZ1
3. Will I need to get a Lower Control Arm Kit??
I'm looking at lowering the car this week so any and ALL help anyone can provide me will be very appreicated....as I tried to ask these questions before on another site but with no luck or suggestions...out of 42 page views only 1 comment...hope my lucks better here....hope someone else's experince will save me some wasted time and money which I have little of both by the way...

Only with Twin Tube struts is it suggested that you use 87-93 struts. Twin Tube strut manufacturers would be Tokico, Koni, KYB, etc. Mono-tube struts... such as Bilstein... you do not need to go with the 87-93. The Twin Tube struts use internal bumpstops which can be damaged, thus damaging the strut, if they bottom out too much. The shorter 87-93 struts give you more travel, and prevent the struts from bottoming out. You can use regular 94-04 rear shocks and quad shocks... this only applies to the front struts.

You only need to worry about the struts...

Never heard of CAM plates...
Our popular sellers are both Maximum Motorsports and Steeda Autosports. Both MM & Steeda make a very high quality 4-bolt plate...
I would get the 4 bolt plates... they allow for independent adjustment of caster/camber... they're so much stronger.
3. Will I need to get a Lower Control Arm Kit??
The lower control arms are not needed for the spring or shock/strut install to be successful...
Although replacing your rear control arms will improve traction and overall handling performance...
