Lowering my 2010 Mustang GT "The Right Way"

[JRWRITER]

Ok, so initially I was going to just get springs to lower my car. But as you guys may know New Jersey doesn't have the best roads. So I did some research and came up with these items to Lower my Car "The right way".

Keep in mind, this is a daily driver and not for track use or anything.

So my question is: Is this the best and most inexpensive way to go for what I want? I need some input from you guys that already have your cars lowered and I am interested in knowing exactly what YOUR lowering setup is.

Thanks in advanced.

ok well let help you a bit at least on prices... americanmuscle has that panhard bar for 100 shipped right now. the konis are a great set of dampners so i like that choice and i have the steeda sports they are a fantastic spring but here are my personaly reccomendations... get a double adjustable panhard bar.. its just easier. i have the competition engineering which is a race one because it has heim joints on both ends but its very easy to adjust and is about the same price as that one you have there from summitracing. other than that its a good suspension but you will need two sets of camber bolts to get the car to align properly i have bmr which worked out nicely for the alignment.

Thanks for the input. Do you a have a link to the camber bolts?


Also, I hear all this talk about Koni Yellows, What makes those so much better than the Koni STR.T

Don't forget new strut mounts.

[GT800]

Hmm I'm not home right now but ill find you the bolts when I get home. The yellows are a much more aggressive damnper more for racing I just can't remember if they are adjustable to or not

thanks

[mrnoodley]

Yes, the yellows are adjustable.

[GT800]

Ya I thought the yellows were adjustable. Yes absolutely get gt500 strut caps or something stronger

thanks

I'm actually looking to do the same...so far my list of suspension parts include:
H&R SS springs, J&M panhard bar and upper/lower control arms, BMR front and rear sway bar and maximum motorsports caster/camber plates...what's a good recommended shock/strut for this type of app? still koni's?

i like tokicos personally but konis are good for sure
