Hopefully one of them will see this and chime in.... if you don't believe me, PM them.
jthorn says it right here that you don't need CC plates unless it's more than 1.5"...

Anyways this is getting immature.

For the thread starter, everyone agrees on the eibachs and tokicos but as for CC plates I guess it's your judgment call whether you think you need them or not but even if you don't need them they certainly will compliment the rest of your suspension set up.

same here^^^

the shocks/struts will just compress down but when its lowered the end push out and give you negative camber that can be fixedd with the CC plates

Yeah dude, not trying to be mean or immature. But I have the eibach pros, and if you want me to Ill post a pic of my tires. They don't even roll evenly anymore lol. Derrick said his were horrible too from driving around with a lowered car and no cc plates. And you dont "need" them true, but I'm just telling your from experience I would Deffinatly get some.

Nah man, I'm not trying to be childish or a ***** and it sucks that it appears that way only because we are typing. As a fellow Mustang and car enthusiast, I am trying to share what little bit I know from experience with you and everyone to hopefully help someone out.

I used motorsports B springs and Tokico blues. I got 1.25 in the front and 1.0 in the back, drives great, looks great, ride.... you can tell when your on a bad road, but other times, rides smooth as glass. Jus got back from a 350 mile trip today, no problems at all. New rims will be in Friday, then in a couple weeks (more cash) I should have the tires. I'll try to get a pic after I wash it. as far as the alignment, mine went fine, just had to drill the rivets in the factory plates and move them, no cc plates needed. I do feel very slight sensation of bumpsteer, but nothing I cant deal with for now. Anything 1.5 or more on the front suspension and more parts are strongly recommended as stated above, because geometry is not only a pain in the *** in school, but on the road as well.

[QUOTE=You don't want to drop a 4.6 into your car. It's too much work and too expensive. If you want that engine then buy a GT or better. And for your question about your springs, no it would not look good if you dropped a 4.6 in because that engine weights more.[/QUOTE]

okay, not to argue, but why do ppl say, buy a gt bc its too expensive to swap a v8? a new GT with low milage would be around... 5-6K(ISH) to swap engines, it would cost around... 2-2.5K... im am actually doing this, so should i wait to get springs with new enigne in?
