I would suggest Roush Performance Springs, Not just lowering springs. .75 in rear 1.5 up front. Nice stance

My stang has the Eibach Pro Line Kit with 17" Cobra R rims. Lowers the car 1.5"-2" and comes with the shocks. You will, however, need to get adjustable caster cambers. See my sig for all you'll need to lower your ride.

With a 1.5" lower, you may want to consider them. Trust me, I've seen what happens when a car doesn't have CC plates. It costed me about $1000 in repairs. Oh, to the noobs, I didn't do it, the car came lowered and without them.

no matter how low you drop it it would never hurt to get cc plates. but with 1.5 or higher you dont NEED them, at least right away. unless your just unlucky like jthorn....

Oh nothing, just a broken tire rod, fried bearings, damage to the sidewall of the tires, and a handful of other things.

if u only go with a 1.5' drop i would suggest a set of camber bolts form stangsuspension. they work great to align everything up perfect and are only 30 bux.
BTW i have the eibach pro kit full 1.5" drop with 17' rims

It's $30 for the bolts, do you need to buy the plates too?
