how would i go about lowering my 98 mustang.

 

getting a set of lowering springs....or cut your existing ones but your ride comfort will decline dramatically

 

wrong section, moving...

you can do coil overs or just replace the stock springs with aftermarket ones. YOu will depending on the spring need new shocks and struts and also you might need caster camber plates.

 

im thinkin bout getting maxspeed springs, is that a good idea. they drop 2 inches in the front and 1.8 inches in the rear

 

Never heard of them. I would stick w/ Eibach, H&R, or FRPP. Also, if you are going to drive your car daily, I wouldn't go more than 1.5".

 

2 inches is too far a drop. You'll wreck the handling. 1.5 is as far as you should go till you do more extensive mods like coil overs/k-member/control-arms/etc...

Get a set of Maximum Motorsports CC plates and make your alignment guy happy. maxspeed sounds like ebay, which never really works out right. Steeda sports, H&R sports, FRPP B or F springs or an eibach kit.

You should also upgrade your shocks and struts. The stockers weren't designed to correctly dampen the added spring rate from the lowering springs and the drop will thrash them after a while.

 

thanks for all the input guys

 

i looked over another thread in this forum and saw how to install the lowering springs, but how do i install cc plates?

 

the instructions that come with the Maximum Motorsports plates are very thorough and clear with pics of all the interesting parts.

The general processs is, jack up car, drill out pop rivets, remove strut top nut, drill hole #4, install plates, cinch down strut top nut, adjust alignment, enjoy.

Check out www.maximummotorsports.com and you can download a PDF of their instructions.

 

i like my stock springs
