Upper Strut Mount???

[matt07gt]

I recently recieved a set of Steeda Ultralite lowering springs to get rid of the jacked up look that the S197's have. The springs will lower the car 1 full inch in the front and 1 1/4 in the rear. i was told that maybe I needed CC plates and I just talked to Steeda and they said that they do not make CC plates for the 05-10 Mustang and they suggest using a upper strut mount. The rep said that it is not necessary needed but he said the stock unit can break down easily once the car is lowered.....

He said that he would reduce the price to $265..what do you guys think??? Do you guys think that its needed? Or have some of you lowered your S197 without them? Thanks.

^^^$330...me no have...gonna have to wait till the spring or late fall most likely. Once I start getting pay checks again i'll swing it.

...Just put the springs in NOW!!! ....worst case, you save $$$$ and put the CC plates in over the winter!! ...how many miles are you planning on putting on between now & Oct/Nov??

 

[matt07gt]

Between now and than......500 +/-...all depends on the weather.

I just have springs, and have no problems at all. Then again I only drive the car once a week, if it isn't raining on wed. So I only put on about 2-300 a month.

Just slap on the springs and get some $20 camber bolts and call it a day.

^^ I agree!

I would put that money towards Steeda Front & Rear Swaybar kit or the Strut Tower Brace!! When are you getting it lowered?!?
