A couple pics...

Took these when I was leaving work on Wednesday. The car was filthy from all of the rain that we had on Monday and Tuesday but it didn't really show up in the pics that much...just makes the paint and chrome look a little dull.

Looks great, now time to get rid of the 4x4 and it will look even better..

+1. Low ride er

You could def drop it an inch or 2... other than that.... very nice ride +1

I do definitely want to drop it 1.5" -2". I am worried about the offset of the wheels in the back though. They are the non-stock offset that sits them out .5" further. The wheel probably sits .25" past the fender. Can I drop it that much without eating a fender?

Eibach pro kit should work fine.

What is the cost and what does it include? Thanks.

There is somthing you can do to staigten them up but i can think of what it is. Someone chime in here.

About $200.00. Comes with all 4 springs takes about 1 hour to install.Definetly one of the best mods for the dollar, I have them on mine and my daughters.

stagger.... depending on how long the track is.... the more stagger you put in the rear the easyer it is to slam it sideways entering the corner... the car will almost turn for you.... especially with the top wing..... the less stagger and the car will push more

Oh ya an ajustable panhard bar. You will want to do this because it will center your rear end to the car. I dont remember how much,thinking 60 to 75 dollars.

Here is what you need:

Springs either get this one, about 1.5 drop:

Or this one, 1.5 front and 2.0 drop:

Jeez guys...that's cheap. I was thinking it was going to take around $500 - $1000. This may have to be the next thing I buy. Thanks!

an hour for the whole job may be pushing it. 2 hours might be more like it. also, youll need a spring compressor, which autozone will usually let you use for a deposit charge. warning... the rear is the bitch.

Lol. I thought the rear was the easiest! But actually the whole thing was pretty easy. I have the eibach pro kit.

Yea, 1hr to 2hr for most if they are using hand tools and no rack. At work I can probably do a spring job in about 30 minutes tops, fair easy.

the front is def the bitch the back takes a total of 10 minutes

You can re-use the stock shocks with those springs?

yea, you can reuse struts and shocks. The ride is tad rougher with stocking shock/struts but its not that bad if you just keep it around 1.5 inch drop.

I didnt mess with the Adjustable pan hard bar on mine due to the car not shifting the rearend that much. Its a little noticiable though.

With your wheels and offset I would suggest purchasing one with the springs so you can make sure propper center.

But springs are something we can help you put on and dont take but an hour and would look amazing on your ride.

Car looks amazing by the way!!

^^^ Thanks Jarrod. The springs and panhard will have to be the next thing I pick up. My brother's a tech at a local Linc/ Merc dealership so he should be able to help me put them on at the dealership some weekend.

Pics look good man.

One last question...

Are the guys that are running the Eibach pro kit using castor camber plates at all? If not, are you noticing any uneven tire wear?

shouldnt as long as you get aligned after...

Ingalls makes camber bolts as well for up to +2or -2degrees of camber

You can always get the camber bolts for the struts if its on. You just have to grind a slot of the strut, very easy to do. This gives you over .5 degree of camber which is more than enough. My camber after my spring install was around -1.1 to -1.2 range, which was in spec so I just left it. If you can rotate you tires you won't notice any wear, if you can't, they may start to wear on the inside after 10000 miles.
