johney5 said:Because I felt the 2005 Mustang needed to hug the road just a little bit more for high speed driving (like 90mph and up), I decided to buy the Eibach Pro kit. The car handled much better, but became stiff and bumpy as can be: not comfortable enough for a three hour cruise, or a road trip. The car jumped so much on dips on the highway, that I felt it was even dangerous.
I just installed Tokico Dspecs with the hope of calming the ride down and it works great.
I have not tried out all the settings yet, but at 5 turns down from the stiffest setting (7 turns is the max) the ride is as smooth as the car before lowering (probably smoother than I want). You do not need camber plates with this set up. And you do not need an adjustable Panhard bar. I think this is an ideal combination.
Hmm, I know any lowering throws off the stock geometry. I do think you need the adj panhard. I'll wait to hear from somebody who has done this.johney5 said:Because I felt the 2005 Mustang needed to hug the road just a little bit more for high speed driving (like 90mph and up), I decided to buy the Eibach Pro kit.

I am also interested in the FRPP Handling Pack. Does anyone know whether a panhard is required with this kit?R3dF1r3 said:Hmm, I know any lowering throws off the stock geometry. I do think you need the adj panhard. I'll wait to hear from somebody who has done this.
In any case, the Pro kit and D specs are I hear, very good for handling. Have fun.
Hmmm, that is what I was afraid of. I have the Steeda Ultralites in a box waiting for install but have been hesitant since I have the Vert and I know the valving on the shocks are different from coupe. Sorta scared I would be bouncing a little more.johney5 said:The car handled much better, but became stiff and bumpy as can be: not comfortable enough for a three hour cruise, or a road trip.
