Lowering ? - 12/5/2007 4:19:59 PM    Fred Malibu   Posts: 875 Joined: 2/26/2007 Status: offline So I have plans to put on Eibach Sportlines this weekend, with an Edelbrock adj panhard, and I  would like to know if this setup will damage my cars suspension..? I have seen posts saying the stock shocks/struts leak and will not last me.. Is this correct, or can I get away with just changing the springs and adding a panhard? Also, how long should it take a body shop to install a adj panhard? Thanks. FM _____________________________ Post #: 1

I talked to the shop and they said they've done tons of Sportline drops and kept the shocks stock.. I don't know if that means I'm in the clear, but I think I'll eventually go with Tokico shocks anyway.  Either the HP's or the D-Specs.. I'm not sure.. depends if I want to spring (pun..lol) for the adjustable ones.. Thanks for the reply Ray.. I like the mods you got goin on. the spring should look nice with your 19's.. _____________________________ (in reply to raylandm) Post #: 3

Panhard done by a shop should take 1/2 hour including adjustment, 15 more realistically!!!! Good luck and enjoy the new look of your stang. _____________________________ Flows, Steeda CAI and Xcal 2 89TQ tune by BAMA (in reply to Fred Malibu) Post #: 4
