Looking for the best lowering kit....
eventually gonna get some 17" wheels but wanna lower it first..
any suggestions?
also is it nessesary to get the caster camber plates?

 

Depends on how low you wanna go. If you're only dropping an inch and quarter or half, then no you dont need caster/camber plates. If you're wanting the car completely dumped, you're going to want coilovers and they require a c/c plate. How low do you want to go?

 

Generally less than 1.5 inch drop and you don't need cc plates. I have the eibach prokit and like it. It does ride rougher than stock but not too bad. They just look sooo much better lowered so its worth it. I haven't used them but these seem to be good for the price http://www.americanmuscle.com/forac.html cheaper than the eibach kit and an even lowering. They are 1.25 front and back the eibach is like 1.5 front and 1 to 1.25 back which I hate, I've been meaning to cut a little out of my rear springs. Check out american muscle and the different springs they have and different drops and read the reviews.

 

i dont think i would want anymore than 1.5... those ford racing ones look pretty good...has anyone else used them? other wise i think ima get the eibach pro kit

 

If thats all you want, get the Ford Racing C springs or the Roush springs. I had Roush stage1 springs, wasnt too low and looked much better than stock

 

Yeah can't you still find those blue roush springs on ebay or something?

 

i think thats what i want...... i just want to close up the gap between the tires and body...especially when i get the new wheels.......the ford racing c springs should be fine for that right?

 

Yeah. They'll close it up nicely. You shouldn't need cc plates but get an alignment when you install them. Install them yourself to save a few bucks too. Really easy.

 

I don't think so. Haven't seen them in a while anyways...

my only thoughts on the C-springs, if they are for a GT, will they even lower the v6 that much in the front?

 

Most of the springs are designed for "99-04" or "GT/V6" so I don't think so. Mine were designed for 79-04 V8's or 99-04 V6 verts and it lowered mine as much as it was supposed to.
