What kinda warranty do Steeda Ultra-lites have and do springs have a short lifetime? Or will they pretty much outlast the car?

They will last a long long time, steeda has great quality reputation.

And about warranty, read this from Steeda site:

Pitting is caused by brake dust, chemical abuse, or lack of maintenance and is not covered by Steeda’s warranty

How come some people need Adj panhard bars and Camber bolts with these and some don't? I tohught the Ulites don't require any of that?

Suspension tolerances from the factory apparently aren't all that precise on the Mustangs (get what you pay for, and all that). So, each car is slightly unique.

My experience with the Steeda Ultralites, as well as some others I've read posts on, was that the rear end required re-centering and the camber adjustment on the struts was negligible. In my case, I didn't need camber bolts, but some others may - owing to the apparently loose tolerances.

Since the Ultralites drop your ride height less than others, you may get away without having to do much. With the kits that drop more, you're almost certainly going to require some help on both ends to get back to spec.

Will you hurt the suspension if you drive around for a while before getting the bar, brace, and bolts? Cuz there wouldn't be any sense in buying it ahead of time because you might not need it.

I don't see how it'd hurt the suspension. The worst that it should do is cause unusual wear on your front tires (inner portion of the tread because of the excessive negative camber), and cause uneven response from the rear, depending on whether you're turning left or right.

Having said that, both things might be favorable if you're:
Road Racing - big negative camber is frequently used as a setup tool (although you might need a pit crew to change your tires everyday when you get home from work)
Oval Racing - offest axles can cause you to turn in one direction very effectively (and hardly at all in the other)

Ah screw it...when the time comes I'll get it all installed at once. That's gunna cost me tough...why is it with these new S197s modding is very expensive. It wasn't like that with previous gen mustangs right? I mean a Driveshaft on a '01-'04 costs like 280 bucks compared to our 800 dollar 1 pc.

It's so expensive b/c it's all new. As soon as they recoup their money for the R&D to produce the piece( and a competitor comes along with something cheaper) the price will come down.
