Installation Problem with Lowering Mustang
Ok, this morning I dropped my Stang off at an Auto shop to get lowered. 30 Minutes later they called back and mentioned that the front springs I had were too big for the Front struts. No issues with the rear springs and shocks.
Here's what I have: A 2012 5.0 Mustang. The suspension parts included are: Eibach Pro-Damper front struts, BMR Lowering Springs Red Powered Coat Set for V6/GT 2005-2013, KYB Rear Shocks GAS-A-Just for V6/GT 2005-2012, and a Steeda Panhard Bar (non-adjustable).
When I arrived to the auto shop, the mechanic showed me how the front springs were too big for the pro-damper strut.
So my question is what strut would be compatible with the BMR front springs for a 2012 5.0?
Thanks. I was really hoping to have this thing lowered by Saturday (Car Show in Nurnberg), but know this will be a No-Go. However, I want to get this issue fixed as soon as possible...

Went back to the auto shop and they didn't test the rear shocks and springs.. So not sure if they will fit as well.. Overall I fault myself for lack of research to ensure if each part works with one another.. I only saw (fits 2012 models) and thought that would be sufficient..

Another note that may be useful, i asked the mechanic if he could just install the bmr front Springs along with the Stock strut, but he Said that the Same issue would arise..
