What do you mean?

The Eibachs will lower it 30mm. The factory shocks are fine for 30mm, any lower than 40mm and they will need replaceing.

Eibachs are ford approved for there standard shocks hence why ford sell them.

A good job would be full new standard shocks and eibach springs to go with it.

Comfort, lowered, peace of mind
