I finally have the money to drop the stang- im hopin for about 1.7-2 in the front and about 1.2-1.7 in the back. Any advice on the best deal? also what else do i need to lower my car other than buying different springs? and how much is the install on those?

Well I went with Vogtland's kit $197 shippted from HOTPART.com . it was about 1.5 all around. I did the work myself and it took about 2 1/2 hours. I rented the spring compression kit for about $40 and when you done you get the money back. For that drop you need to go with an Eibach pro kit! If you just want to drop it you don't need to buy anything until it s finished and then you need to get an alignment. Maybe camber plates with that much drop but that is car dependent....
Install variesy but expect to pay about $125 -$200

For that kind of drop you may even want to consider the Eibach Sportlines as the Pro-Kit drops about 1.3-1.4"
A 1.7-2" drop is a pretty big drop.

yeah. get an adjustable one for best reliability, its said you may experience some binding when the rear suspension compresses with a drop greater than 1.5 inches.
