I am looking at getting a set of Ford Racing springs, 5300-G for verts. It ays they will drop the car 1.2" front and back. Any troublemwith alignment with that much drop and stock parts? How sway bars? I was looking at Eibach #3518.320 36mm front and 24mm rear. According to eibac it is the springs that do the real handling improvements. I also have KYB GR-2's due wednesday, good price, $160. delivered. Can get the Eibach bars for $281. delivered also. Springs are $209. Can't make power so I thought handling is good. What are you guys using and are you satisfied with what you have? Also I thought GR-2's were KYB's mid level shcock and the Gas-a-just were the least with AGX the best but the KYB's were chreaper for the rears? Anyone. Thanks, mark

should make it better, im saving for the the full stage 3... i think the roush system is the best riding and performing on the market.. i also found a stage 3 ford setup (all ford racing with everything from LCA's and subframer to shocks and springs for 750 shipped. basically anything is better than stock.. but my friend has a 2" drop on his and its a little too harsh for me. I want about 1.25 front and 3/4 rear.. anybody else who ha used a complete system please chime in!

From what I see Ford only offers one spring set for verts and they claim a 1.2" drop front/back. I got a set of FR5's from wheel replicas and another set of Sumitomo's, 275/40 and 315/35's which in themselves do quite a bit to enhance handling. Who has the Ford kit for $750. and Exactly does it contain-vert friendly? Many springs and sub frame connectors are NOT for verts. Since the car was ready for shocks/struts and I have used the KYB GR-2's before I went with them and the $160. shipped was a good deal. Rousch must be pricey. One part highly suggested by droptoppony, I believe, is the aluminum steering bushings sold by Maximum motorsports so I will add those for $40. I believe I will see what the springs do before going further but really need to know if an alignment will be possible with the stock adjustment with a 1.2" drop? Anyone? Mark
