Alright, for those of you that are curious, I am going to try and keep everything listed here as I feel like I am walking into uncharted territory here.
So I traded another user on here and got a Set of H&R Super Sport springs that claim a 1.7" drop in the front and a 2.4" drop in the back. I just ordered on American Muscle Koni Str.t Shocks and Struts, BMR Panhard bar, FRPP Jounce Bumpers, and Maximum Motorsports Caster Camber plates for the 2011-2013 models that are currently on backorder and from calling American Muscle they have an expected ship date of 2nd week of Feb.
So here is the deal from what I learned so far as it has been an adventure. The 05-10 CC plates from Maximum motorsports will work with the 2011-2013 Mustangs, but you have to use the spring Isolators from an 05-10 mustang. Couldn't seem to find them, so ordered the CC plates for the 2011-2013 mustangs that are backwards compatible. I will still have to disassemble the stock struts and reuse the isolators, but that won't be a big deal as I am just going to go to Sears and buy a spring compressor as they are not terribly much, and who knows Might get sick of these springs being too low and want to switch them out, what have you.
I will also need to go stop by my local Harbor Freight store and pick up one of their super awesome low profile jacks, as my current jack will get the car up...but might not get it back down...lol.
So I am going to keep this thread up to date once the install happens, I will have before pictures with tape measure showing my stock ride height and then of course after the drop. I am also going to ASAP be buying the BMR LCA and Relo brackets as soon as I have the cash, as I feel that is going to be vital, and then the UCA soon as the money for that comes about.
Feel free to throw in opinions or ask questions, if there is anything you want to know about this feel free to ask, I do feel like I am going into unknown waters here, as I don't see many people on here with this exact setup at all.
