Hey guys,

So I just installed Eibach Sport Lines on my 2014 5.0 and they feel and look GREAT. I'm really happy with them. Now that I know how much of a difference suspension mods make on this car I am trying to buy as many suspension mods as possible within the next couple months. My car has the track pack, and my question is, What are the most important and or popular suspension mods.

I would love it if i can get a top 5 list from you guys. This will help me a lot in choosing what I will be doing next! Thanks a lot guys!!

A good set of shocks/struts, preferably adjustable. Also get the LCA relocation brackets, you will need them with that big of a drop.

3) double adjustable rear shocks

i'd get a panhard bar and LCA's + brackets with any sort of drop. I had the mild Eibachs ( i forget what they're called, but only like 1" all around) and the LCA's were still very much needed, and my car was like 3/4" further to the driver side before it was re centered with the PHB. The car being off whack side to side is something you can definetly feel... I really didnt realize it was doing it until i put the PHB on and it suddenly wasnt doing it any more, then it was a WORLD of difference making any sort of turn, spirited or not.

Double adjustable will allow you to adjust without disconnecting one end of the bar. 5 min job vs. 20 min basically.

I'm mostly a daily driver and I wanted good traction on the street with a good tire. I went with
Lca, lca relocation brackets, springs, shocks/struts, and a panhard bar.
I plan on getting a driveshaft, uca and mount later down the road because my car hooks well for how I want it to.
