Default Need advice for suspension mods..

I'm looking for advice on what springs to get for my 2006 Ford Mustang GT. I want to lower it a bit but mainly even out the rear and front end...get rid of it being so high in the rear. I was planning on Steeda Ultralites, Steeda HD Camber Plates for alignment, Tokico D Specs and possibly a Steeda adjustable panhard bar.

My concern is I don't want to lose ride quality or much of it anyway. I also have staggered 20's with 285's in the rear so I don't know if that's an issue or not. I read that Ultralites are linear springs and the ride quality is better. I have also had the sports recommended to me but always thought they were more for track use.

Will the Steeda HD Camber plates be enough for aid in proper alignment or do I even need them?

Any promo's going on for us Mustang Forum user's atm?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Any Steeda reps here anymore???

After reading more I've come to the conclusion that the sports are more what I want than the ultralites after all.

Would still like info on whether or not the camber plates are needed for proper alignment or am I wasting 280.00....

You will end up with more negative camber. If you don't have a staggered wheel and tire set so you can still rotate your tires every 5,000 miles then you wont need to invest in camber plates.

If you have a staggered wheel and tire set and can not rotate then the only way to preserve tire wear will be with the camber plates. I would suggest getting them in that case.

Thanks for the reply. I will buy the heavy duty camber plates then, as I do have staggered wheels.
