To those with the Gen4 cars...I will be putting a set of Eibach springs into one of the club members' car this weekend. Pics and writeup coming soon.

Will-
It is Aaron's car that I will be working on. From what I understand, they are nearly identical to the Gen3's. He bought his Eibach Pro Kit from Schwab and is regretting it now. If you are serious about a drop, at least get your springs coming...Stillen has them for under $200 for the Gen3, with free shipping. We can discuss my help charge...

It takes me about 2 hours to do a Gen3, front & rear.

if you need a hand let me know---i did mine with a buddy in just over an hour---they are super easy if you have a spring compressor.

I have a spring compressor, impact, and air. Gotta remember, I am getting old.

ftw... hundred dollar craftsman set with a breaker bar--headers in my garage in and hour and a half--3 busted knuckles but hey it is worth the 12 horse. and damn do they look good. oh by the way my birthday is in september and i want a compressor---i will be old in 2 years---might as well start now. by the way never do a exhaust, intake or 02 sensons in a 98 mustang that thing sucks.

how long did it take you to do the swap on the 4th gen? and was it a coupe or sedan? not that it makes a difference i guess. i want to get eibach's too but i don't want to be shelling out $300+ for installation. would you recommend to do this without much car knowledge? hardest mod i've done so far is installing non-oem fogs which i did a poor job on..

It was an 07 sedan, and it took about 1.5 hours to do with picture taking. Not a terrible job...You just need all the tools. I have a compressor, impact gun, and my own spring compressor tools. Makes it a lot easier. On a scale of 1-10...app a 6.5 for difficulty. If you are not mechanically inclined, you may want to pass on this one...
