Default When lowering my car.....

When lowering my car am i going to need to re-do the entire suspension or just the springs? Also what are the best springs for lowering my v6 about an inch and a half?

I highly recommed a Eibach (Prokit) or Steeda Sport Springs
because they would help your V6 alot as far as handling go's.
The Eibach Prokit will give you a drop between 1in.-1.5in's.
That is what I call the perfect drop a your stang in my opnion!
Since your stang is a V6 and doesn't weight as much as a V8
your V6 stang will not drop as much as they claim because of
the weight of the stang.I know that with Eibach or Steeda you can't go wrong.They both have a good rep so,you will not have nothing
to worry about if the spring are installed properly! I trust that
with either brand you will maintain good ride quality and look's plus
are high quality steel wires that rides better than other brands with
similar spring rates but,with Steeda Sport Spring will lower your
stang from 1in.-11/4in.'s for a great drop though.What is really
needed for a drop with no problems is a good set of Caster Camber
Plates,Steering Rack Bushings,and Polyurethane Bushings.I have
Steeda Competition/Street Springs and LOVE them to death.I
have awesome traction,handling,and maintain perfect ride quality.
Good Luck on whatever spring you decide on and just remember
that Steeda Competition/street Springs got me in the flat 9's
in the 1/4.My name is Turbo Terror it's nice to meet you Revmaynrad02!

Hi,Twister that's a great idea to install a rear sway bar with the
install of new springs.That would add to the great traction of
course!A nother great idea would be any quality Sub Frame
Connectors installed with the new springs for maxium traction!
