Think I want to do a small drop
After talking to Beau Ballard tonight I think I want to do a small drop on my car... Was thinking Steeda springs and he suggested a adjustable panhard bar and Jonathan said I should get Don's gt500 strut mounts... Anyone want to chim in with some information... Also where I can get it done and for how much.. Thanks for the help!

Yes! Get the FRPP kit from BBR! It comes with the Ford racing non-adjustable struts and shocks and the P springs (~1" drop). The struts and stuff will be a little stiffer than stock, but you can always resell them and keep your stock struts.

My vote is k springs. 1.5 all around.. Looks way! Better and I have yet to scrape on anything around town.. Just know if you're a jiggly person they will make you jiggle a little more driving around lol.

I can't chime in about springs for these cars since I have only used coilover's, but you do need an adjustable panhard bar so the rear can be properly centered. Typically LCA relocation brackets are recommended too, but you do not have to get those. As far as places to go I'd say it depends on where you live, but Mike @ Whiteside Customs is a suspension guru out in Mckinney.

Almost everyone who uses a ProKit or something similiar in drop always end up saying they wish they went a lil lower to make it look better. The fenderwells are so large on these cars it really requires are larger wheel and at LEAST a 1 1/2 inch drop to look right to lose that ugly fender gap.

I was going to say sport lines but he said he wanted only a inch drop.

I drove on EibachvProkit springs with stock struts/shocks and stock panhard bar for over a year with zero probs. I recommend these springs based on your goal
