lowering springs

[jwhite]

I will add when you get the kit it looks a little overwhelming. Like the tail lights come in six different pieces,but if you just sit down and do it, piece a cake

Are you just looking to lower your car with stock shocks? Or are you going with a shock/spring combo?

This thread really had sold me on the Eibach Pro for my daily driver. Curious, for you all, is the stock hardware enough to bring the Toe and Camber back to spec using Pro springs, or did you go with camber bolts, or even CC plates?

I know swift springs are usually good with stock shocks as I've seen with other cars. I believe Steeda springs were also designed to stock shocks. Maybe someone else could put in some input.

I did a bit more of research. Swift springs will work with stock shocks very well, as well as the BMR SP080 springs. As I said, I believe Steeda has a set of springs as well.

Swift springs spring rates are higher than BMR's though. Probably less body roll with the swift springs. Swift has a drop of F-1.1in; R-1.0in. BMR is F-1.5in; R-0.5in. You can also get a combo that BMR has with same drop in the rear but with 0.875in drop in the front. It seems it comes down to how low/rake look you want and or how important reducing body roll is to you.

With the Eibach my alignment was right on edge of good for camber. I'm just going with a set of camber offset bolts, $57 though TireRack. Ford does offer just a smaller diameter bolt, cost ?. You can get the strut tower plates for $250ish but I just wanted to get .5 degree more.
Had some nice weather today and finally got a chance to really drive the car with the new springs and sway bars. Much improved handling and seemed not to be so choppy in the rear. I'm very happy with the Eiback set up.

How long did you wait till alignment? I just ordered some pro kit springs.
Thanks

Drive straight to shop when done.
Although the guy said the alignment wasn't that bad to start with.

Looking to lower my 15 GT and wanted to see what are the best springs to use to get the nicest look and ride. The car will sit on 20 inch rims and tires.

As someone already mentioned, Swift Springs work with OEM dampers and compliment them nicely.
