We just got through upgrading my suspension. Since I can't do any heavy lifting for a couple more months a buddy of mine volunteered to do all the work (with my supervision, lol) in exchange for my take off springs & shocks.

After doing some reading on this forum, I went with Fox body Tokico HP gas shocks which are an inch shorter than the SN-95 body style shocks and are better for lowered Stangs, Eibach Sportline springs and Maximum Motorsports 4-bolt adjustable caster camber plates. For the drive home we dialed in the alignment with a level! Man it was very easy with these cc plates and it tracked straight down the road all the way home. I'm taking it in to an alignment shop after I hit 500 miles or so.

She rides much better than with my old setup of FRPP lowering C-springs, stock shocks & no cc plates. The springs should settle another half inch or so in about 500 miles.

Looks good!! How many spacers did you end up using with the CC plates?

We used them all. Since the struts were an inch shorter, we set it up as if it was at "stock" ride height. 1 small washer on top all the rest below.

I really am surprised at how much better it rides now. I was thinking it might be worse since the C-springs were a progressive rate spring and the Sportlines appear to be specific rate. The shocks & struts must be playing big roll in the ride quality.

That's a great price, if it includes shipping. I think I paid around $230 shipped.
