dude install them urself, its like paying yourself $100 an hour like a dirtbag shop would do.. and alot of people do their own springs, havent heard of one person yet on these forums that has had them installed by a shop

sportlines i believe do them yourself they are cake puddin especially the rear all you got to do for that is take the bolts out of the shocks and the front all you need to do is take the cotter pin out of the spindle and and take the bolt out and the spring should come out. i dont think you need a spring compressor im not sure all you need a shop to do for you is an alignment and even still you can do that your self with a weight and a level but that is a biotch and a half with out the machine

The eibach pro kit is the one with the 1.5 inch drop all around and it doesnt need cc plates, just a camber bolt. You can just install them yourself using the mustangworld instructions. It should be pretty easy. If you have a shop do it, it would be maybe $300. With that $300, I would buy some cc plates, and drop it more.

It's not a hard job at all. You will need a floor jack, some jack stands and some hand tools and get the front end alligned right away.

Well guess ill have to wait a month for my brother to come down from college so he can help me install them.
Long time flash.

What are the difference between the prokit drop and sportline drop?
It seems like my front sits higher than my back so shouldnt the front have a greater drop than the back?

if you want it really low go w/ the sportlines. i think they drop it 2". you will just need to buy cc plates and probably have a shopadjust them when they are on the car to get your alignment right.
