time to drop it! to fix the problem your having your going to have to go over your suspension anyways, and when you lower it you get all new springs, shocks/struts. It'll cost ya though, your going to need some caster/camber plates also because when you lower your car it messes with the cars geometry. 2 inches is a big drop though, I don't have any experience in dropping a car but someone else will chime in and tell ya what you need to do.

when something goes bad on my car I usually use it as an excuse to upgrade! Have fun and good luck!

Trent,

You may want to look into front end bushing replacement. Such as...

Front Endlinks
Front Swaybar Bushings
Front Steering Rack Bushings
Strut Mounts (or CC Plates)
Front Control Arm Bushings

Sincerely,

Talking Looking for the Right Caster Camber Plates....

So I finally went through with it.......
I bought some Tokico HP adjustable shocks and struts to fit my 95 GT convertible along with some Eibach Pro lowering springs. However, I keep hearing that I will also need some Caster Camber Plates to align the wheels properly. I really want the smoothest ride and since its a daily driver and won't be racing it anytime soon I figured that I may get away from needing to purchase these Caster Camber Plates. I still want it to have that agressive look though. Any suggestions if I really need these Caster Camber Plates and if so, which ones should I go for. I really don't want to spend too much on them. I have already spent about $650 on the shocks and springs. I've seen some go for about $140 for a pair on ebay. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

We have our own CC Plates - StangSuspension.com Caster / Camber Plates - For 94-04 Mustangs - StangSuspension.com They are $159 with free shipping. Plus they are covered by our 60 day, no questions asked return... which the Ebay company probably doesnt have...

Sincerely,
