I am new to this site and have a question about lowering my 02 mustang GT. I just purchased cobra replica wheels (front 17x9, rear 17x10.5). The wheels look great but its the stance (4x4 look) that bothers me. So my question is, what would be the best setup for lowering my stang (shocks, struts, springs, caster-camber plates) and anything else I would need to do the job right. I do not drive the car in winter or drag race, its just a weekend car for fun so i wouldn't want the fancy racing setup, just something with a comfortable ride with a nice set-up. Thank you in advance.
There is no "best setup". It really depends on you... how much you want to lower the car... what your driving style is etc.
You have to decide whether you want to lower the car very slightly (1 inch)... using something like the Ford B Springs or Ford C springs... or more aggressively (1.5>2.0 inches)... using something like the H&R Sport/Super Sport springs, or Eibach Pro-Kit springs.
It seems you'd rather choose comfort over performance... so I would lean towards the H&R Sport, Eibach Pro-Kit or B springs...
At minimum... to do the job correctly we always recommend Springs, Struts/Shocks & CC Plates (just as you mentioned above). We have many products/kits on our site with full descriptions of what is included. Tokico shocks/struts are very popular for budget minded customers... and the Maximum Motorsports CC plates are one of our popular selling CC Plates.
Thank you for the advice, but i had already went and purchased shocks/struts, caster/camber and springs from your store. BILPAK9404 - Complete Bilstein Front & Rear Strut/Shock Package, CC9994 - MM Caster Camber Plates, 3510.140 - Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs.
How low will these springs lower my car? I want about a 1.5" drop, and from what i have read, that's what these springs should do.
Thank you....
