Hey guys, I'm going to pick the car up from Eibach later tonight but I wanted to post a couple of pics that were just sent to me from their R&D dept. My car was only used for final test fitting for GT500 specific springs (not the coilover system) as the previous test car that was used for specs/measurements blew a tranny when he was drag racing and couldn't make it back. I'll be picking it up later tonight. Let me know what you think.

Lowered
1.5" in front
1.7" in rear

That can't be the ProKit is it?? Their prokit is # 35114 and adv. as a 1.3 Front and 1.4 Rear drop. I don't want more than that. If they changed the specs, I'm getting the Ford Racing kit coming at 1.25/1.25 drop. Is this their lower kit called Sportline I believe averaging 2/2 drop??

No, this particular kit has yet to be released. i'm not sure what it will be coded as but once I pick it up I'll let you know.

Oh well..........I guess I'll be buying the ford kit..............Eibach needs to change their specs on their website now.............if this is that low, how low will their 'lower' kit go??
Not insulting, just I wanted about an inch, or slightly more but not too much..............but if you're happy, then all is good.

Doesnt look to low to me......Here's a couple of pics of my old '06 Procharged Mustang GT with the Eibach pro-kit and 20" Shelby Razors. I never had any problems with rubbing, bottoming etc.

It does look good..........just saying the numbers are not in line of typical 'ProKits'...........I will have to wait for the final version to be released to see what they are.

Thanks! I loved that car!! I had a ton of money into it before I sold it with 6000 miles on it. I actually miss it somedays.........until I drive my GT500!!! It did look sinister though! Here's a couple of vids of it...........

Yeah, sinister -- good word! Very clean and stealthy look!

Great exhaust sound! In the second vid almost sounded like you were bouncing her off the rev-limiter ;-)

I was...LOL!! That car made 464HP to the tires with a good tune. It had JBA longtubes w/high flow catted H, 4.10's, a new tru trac diff, and tons of other goodies. I never had a problem with the Procharger or any detonation, even in 115 degree heat! I didnt bounce it off the limiter much, but with the 4.10's it made it hard not too!!

Looks great.
I have the pro kit and 20's with no rubbing either.

These cars need to come down some for sure. Mustangs have been too high since the early 80's.

I think I will wait for the coilover kit. Then you can adjust from .8 to 3 inch.

Your car looked great and that's exactly street the setup I want. Rims and all.

The coilover kit is scheduled to be ready in 2-3 months. The car will greatly benefit from some stiffer shocks.
