Was hopping to get some help installing my lowering spring on my car. If you know me i have no clue on how to get it done. I'm just an electrician not a mechanic Jim. lol

Have you bought, do you need:
new spring isolators
caster/camber plates?
Do 05+ even need caster/cambers?

I have no idea about caster cambers on an 05+ but I am pretty sure I can figure it out and pretty sure the springs are the same. I'm down unless I have duty hopefully on a weekend-Shane

I didn't need caster/camber plates in the 07.

Your car is new enough, you should not need new spring isolators as long as the spring size is similiar. Are you lowering all four? I'll be out of town for a month, but there are plenty of guys that can handle this install.
The S197's can use cc plates or cc bolts which I have on my car. The bolts are much cheaper and do the same thing as the plates. The lowering springs are a really easy swap. You may need a spring compressor for the old ones but the new ones should just pop right in. Good luck with the install
Yeah it cant be that hard.

Very cool Thanks Tommy
I thought the 05+ stangs had the springs mounted on the shocks? Those two write-ups are for stangs with springs mounted on the lower control arms

Since the "struts" are coil overs, you'll have to find an article on this. Orange has done a few and Emilio should know how to install them....emphasis on "SHOULD". As for the rears, the article I left on the site should work just fine. Very easy install.
