I'll be ordering tomorrow is it okay to just get the h&r springs and the camber bolts then later this month get the shocks and struts?

I don't even have bolts or plates on my car and factory struts and shocks. (the guy who was supposed to do my camber caster plates apparently knew a better way and grinded on some bolts to make it align properly. wasn't to happy about it but whatever.) thing is your car isn't gonna fall apart on you. but it will wear your tires down if your don't put c/c plates or bolts.

and the steering may be a bit off.

Alrighty is the lowering really a good and noticeable look on the car?

Yeah I love just getting under my car and screwing around with things. And I actually am dropped 1.5 inches and have stock struts, shocks and no cc plates and my tires wear perfectly, and I have noticed no bad effects. So I would think you should be good. And I parked next to a stock mustang, it had huge gaps in the wheel wells you will love it once you get it lower to the ground.

Yeah I will be. Getting them soon I'll order maybe tomorrow if I have time but is the springs really hard to install I have never done them before ever?
I have never done them on a mustang, but I herd they are not that hard. I put new springs on my jeep when I lifted it but I had control arms, swaybars, shocks, everything off and I'm sure that is different. And I also had a lift to work on.

I've never used a spring compressor. I just use the butt end of a breaker bar when I have the a-arm completely down and hanging. Done plenty of spring swaps on different cars.

And shocks/struts do not change the height of the car. They just serve as dampeners to help handle and distribute recoil of the spring compressing during driving.

I decided to buy the springs and the end of this month and I'm going to go with h&r super sports,camber bolts, do I need the new isolatores my car has 67,000 miles. and is it worth it to buy the shocks and struts, or should I get the Mach grill delete and the chin spoiler and sequital tail lights with the springs?

I'm sure you want more than an inch drop, but on ksl there is some Ford racing springs for sale $50, I think they drop the front 1 inch and the rear 3/4, I could be wrong. Just so you know. But it sounds like you want 2 inches anyway.

Yeah thanks for telling me man but yeah I'm looking for like a 1.8 to 2 inch drop. But when I get it lowered do I need to buy shocks and struts or not? Cause I was looking to get the tokico shocks and struts but the shocks went off Clarence so I'm kinda pissed!!?
