Lowering spring
 
im planning on lowering my 2000 stang convertible id like to know if i only need springs or i will need camber kit and all that stuff thx

If you go with a big drop like Eibach Sportlines or something similar, you may have some trouble getting the camber back to a setting that doesn't chew up the insides of the tires. With a standard drop like 1-1/2"ish, H&R or Eibach Pro-Kit for example, you should be OK.



cheers

i was looking for H&R and eibach but i think they have diferent kit cant seem to find one for a convertible becuase its says exclude convertible

I know that the Eibach Sportlines are for coupes only, while the Eibach Pro Kit is for verts, and coupes. Probably due to the weight of the vert, and the huge drop from the Sportlines is why Eibach does not recommend them unless you have a coupe.
But like what Ed stated, with the 1 1/2 drop, you will be just fine with just the springs, but make sure to have your alignment checked afterwards.
Later on if you want to get the most out of the drop, you can add caster camber plates, aftermarket shocks, and struts, ects....

so i should go with the Eibach Pro Kit without a problem just i seen on other site that the H&R spring will give me a smoother ride

Used Eibach's on a number of vehicles - Sportlines and Pro Kit. I've always been happy with them.

I have my 02 convertible lowered with Eibach sportline and my 04 mach 1 with the Eibach proline I like the look of the sportline but I had to instal CC plates . On the 04 the proline did not lower it as much so no CC plates . With the way the roads are here and all the tank traps in malls I would go with the prolines just because of the CC plates and the bad roads . Either way you can't go wrong

Oh I have used Steeda and Ford racing

I would just go without but monitor the front tires. If you start to see any irregular wear get a set of plates and get it aligned.
