Default IF I wanted to lower my V6 what exactly do I need?d rod would be needed. Anything else that is crit

I am looking to lower my car 1.5" or 2". I am currently looking at the kit from BMR Fab, http://www.bmrfabrication.com/2005Mustang.htm , for lowering.

I just wanted to know what else I should purchase for optimal handling and install.

I believe an adjustable panhard rod is required.

Is there anything else I should have installed to have the best quality lowered car possible?

Thanks

The Pro-kit drops about 1.5" which should be enough of a drop dont wanna go too low because of bumps. Someone said they bought a bump steer kit with there springs but im not sure what thats used for.

I have the BMR kit on mine, and ordered the adj panhard bar at the same time. Without it, the rearend was SLIGHTLY off, but not enough that it showed up in a 4 wheel alignment. Save yourself the money and just get the springs. You can always pick up the panhard bar at a later point if needed.

By the way, LOVE the springs. car handles fantastic and the ride is still acceptable (although noticably stiffer then stock). Plus, it looks SOOOOOO much better without the "ass high" stock stance.

Good luck with it!

Check out the article on springs on Stang Suspension's web site.
