lowering my car

[northerncountry]

X2 on contacting wickedstangs, for sweet deals. and as subz posted we have installed alot of parts and gear that the hobby shop. the shop opens at 9 so it's great to make a morning or a day of it and just hang out turning wrenches and learning from the gear heads!

I'm talking to a guy that will sell me the front sway bar. Rear shocks and a panhar bar from a 2007 gt500... Would that fit and work? Or should I just buy the stuff new?

 

[Frye011]

And rear lower control arms

 

[northerncountry]

if it's the stock stuff from the 500 i would buy new but thats just me the diameter of the front swaybar is alittle bit bigger but thats it nothing special. I would also check out the Grip in a box packages from Maximum Motorsports.

 

[Frye011]

I was thinking either the eibrach sport kit from american muscle or just buying the stuff slowly then putting it on at once

Hmm, I would not buy the used stock stuff. There is a reason he took it off his car...

I agree with what Emilio, John, and Danny have said. It is a package of changes that work together. My opinion is, if you can afford it, go with the Eibach Sport System Plus, which has the Drop you want, along with adjustable front sway, rear sway, and the struts + shocks. It is Eibach part# 4.13135.680

This is the exact same thing as the FRPP M-FR3-MGTAA suspension pak (minus the strut tower bar). Eibach makes this for Ford.

The best price I have seen for this kit is from Auto Sport in VA. $900 delivered.
I also got a quote from Shox.com (in El Cajon) of $950 delivered (need a deposit before ordering).

This is significant savings from the list prices of $1400-$1500

Oh, I run the FRPP pak, which was on my car when I bought it used (lucky me). I like the way it handles, which is very predictable with good tires.

From Eibach.com:

4.13135.680

I apologize for the long post, but it is too easy to end up with the wrong setup!

Awesome yea I just thought maybe I had got lucky but it's whatever. I'm just Gunna save my pennies and get the sport kit it's on American muscle for 899 I think and then just grab some camber plates and I'll be set with a brand new suspension almost
