Great information guys! One quick question:

I, too, will be upgrading my suspension soon. I had planned on doing it myself, except, of course, the alignment. After lowering the vehicle, is it necessary to adjust the pinion angle? I would think that it would be, but would like to hear from those of you who have completed this modification.

Thanks in advance.

I am also thinking of going with the Ford Racing (#M-2005-FR3) kit. Any other comments, good or bad will be greatly appreciated.

I've lowered mine 1.8" in the rear and 1.3" in the front. I have not needed to adjust the pinion angle. HOWEVER, I do not drag race. As you can tell from the modifications listed, my car is set up for road/auto cross racing. You want to consider what kind of performance driving you will be doing, and how much you will lower the rear end.

The FRPP handling kit is the Eibach Prokit that they have just re-labeled; I may be wrong, but I think that the dampers may be slightly different. I went with Eibach straight off the bat, and have not regretted it; my front swaybar is in the middle hole(which is the exact set-up that one of the mustang mags tested the kit with).

Really surprised that something broke on yours!!! I have learned a lot in the past year: Do your research, and ask questions. Because of 65sohc, and some others, my replacement dampers will indeed be the D-Specs. I also called Powerhouse411, and they were REALLY great on the phone. Before I go changing a lot of stuff, I will do one thing at a time; next will be the re-location brackets.
As 65 has stated, you need to really took an honest assesment of your driving: I do not do ANY TRACK driving, so for me maybe just re-location brackets, and an adjustable panhard bar + alignment will be just fine. I guess what I am saying is take your time; I have a Steeda Tri-Ax sitting in my closet; I did not do my research.
