Default Lowering my mustang

Hi all!!! I have a question, as usual... anyway, I'm thinking of lowering my 1998 mustang. I'm gonna purchase the eibach lowering spring kit. Just wondering, is that all I need? do i need a bumpsteer kit? or myabe some new bushings or stuffs like that? Thanks!

You can enhance the lowering with all that stuff, but I didn't. I just had the Rousch springs installed and wheels aligned. That is one thing you really NEED to do. The alignment.

I got the springs on E-Bay for $140.00. The shop charged me $100 to install. Shop around before choosing the shop. The first place I checked with wanted twice that! $200.00 to install springs?? NO WAY!

Edit..
That $100.00 included the alignment...

yup, the eibach kits looked tempting to me.... anyway, do i need to change out my shock struts too when i fit lowering springs? I quite confused as some people say the oem shock struts can take the stress from after maket springs... is that true? thanks!

Nope! The front springs go right on the existing struts! Mine worked GREAT! No probs with the struts. But if you feel uneasy, I'm sure AutoBadges would be more than happy to sell ya new struts!
