I have heard good things about Eibach and Steeda. I have heard H&R ride like a old west wagon. I am going to use Steeda Ultralights, which has a 1" drop...the 2"+ is too low for me, Ill bottom out everywhere.

personally i don't think you'll be happy with just 1 inch. i have the eibach pro kit and seldom bottom out. i wish i would have gone with the sportlines instead and gotten the 2 inch drop, but i would also have to be much more careful

Im also keeping some pretty thick rubber under the fenders, and put some thick ones on for the track....I cant go too low. I have like 1.5 of clearance, maybe 2 now. And the speedbumps here are pretty high, and I have to find low places to cross or just go around the parking lot...
I also like steeda, but I may change my mind.

Check out the handling pack at FRPP.
Has everything you need, & lowers your car about 1.5", a happy medium between many kits.

The thing with buying full packs, except for a few companies, like CHE (for my suspension bracing), is that all the products are not the best that is made. Piecing together different company parts can get you the best overall outcome. If you buy all one company, you might like the outcome, but it could have been a lot better piecing together. Put it like car audio...JL makes a badass subwoofer, but Focal makes ungodly highs, and Memphis has great mids and highs. Now if you went all JL, Focal, or Memphis, you would be happy. But with a combination of all three, you have the best sound money can buy, ya know what I'm getting at?
(not saying those are the best brands, they are some of the top ones!!)

Steeda springs and their pro active shocks\struts
BMR for everything else. Better quality, lower price.

mustang fanatic · March 14th, 2007, 10:21 PM

Yea I was thinking about going with steeda. I just dont want to go to low so I dont have to worry to much about scraping. Thanks for all your inputs, this site rocks!

miafan · March 14th, 2007, 10:35 PM

nobody is mentioning bmr springs (1.4fr 1.75b i think), a little higher than sportline and lower than pro kit. has anyone tried or heard anything on these?

mustang fanatic · March 14th, 2007, 11:12 PM

I have another question? If I get new springs is there anything else I need to do or that I should do at the same time? (Panhard bar, Etc...???)

psycho bob · March 14th, 2007, 11:25 PM

yes....adjustable panhard bar (to recenter the rearend), shocks/struts, LCA's......at least these things and a lifetime alignment from firestone. the lifetime is a good bit more, but you will never have to pay for another alignment.

miafan · March 15th, 2007, 07:59 PM
