Default Springs

Alright, I have been looking at Eibach springs since I've gotten my car. I have a '03 coupe. I've been looking at their pro-line springs, not sport-line. I was thinking if I put these pro-line springs, which claim to drop it 2" in the front and 1.8" in the rear, on my car and I buy 18" x 9" front and 19" x 10" rear, with a 275-285 tire (I don't know much about the tire sizes), would that work? I'm pretty sure the rear will not be a problem, since it doesn't turn.

I don't know, what do you guy think? Let me know what kinda set-up you guys have on your Mustangs so I can get some ideas. What's the MAX you can drop your car with atleast an 18" rim?

Thanks.

yeah it shouldn't be a problem at all, but i would just stick with the 18's all around personally.

if you drop it that low you will have to get some caster camber plates to adjust the front susspension

i u go with the pro-kit get a camber bolt kit to realign instead of cc plates. much cheaper. i would also stick with 18's all around your tire sizes sound good tho. if u go with the sportlines, go ahead and get the cc plates.

those camber bolts have been proven several times not to work. they will always need adjusting. don't be cheap. do it right the first time and get castor/camber plates.
