I'm looking to better understand adjustments that need to be made with current mods if I decide to lower my car.
I have Whiteline lower control arms and a Whiteline adjustable panhard rod on my 2014 GT. Originally I wasn't planning on dropping the car (roads are pretty crappy around here and the Stang is my only ride currently) so I picked up a fixed upper control arm, which I haven't installed yet. I recently came across a good deal on some lowering springs from a friend of mine who is parting out his car.
1. If I pick up the springs, my understanding is that ideally, I would add a set of LCA relocation brackets and an adjustable UCA. Will any set of relocation brackets work or does it make sense to get the same brand as the LCAs?
2. Eventually I'd like to upgrade my shocks but if I install the springs (1.5" drop, front and back) before upgrading shocks, will the drop have any impact on my alignment? Does it make more sense to hold off on the drop until I can upgrade the shocks?
3. Are caster camber plates necessary when doing the drop and or adding new shocks or are those something to use only in the case there are issues with the alignment?
Thanks.
