I'm sure any set will be fine. It just depends on what your plans for your car are, and your what direction your going in for performance.

I believe the H&R SS springs will have the lowest drop at 2". Those are the springs I will be putting on my car soon. But honestly, from what I have read you really can't go wrong with the Eibach or H&R. This is not from personal experience but merely from a ton of research.

In order from least to greatest drop: Prolines, Sportlines, H&R's. I want H&R's on mine, but it may be too much drop. I'll have to see a mustang around here with some on it.

Sportline will give you what you want. They advertise race-car like handling and lowers your car 1.75" - 2.25".

make sure you get caster camber plates for drops more than 1.5" so you can get an accurate alignment.

You do NOT need a bump steer kit for a 1.5-2" drop. Bumpsteer is mostly for new K members with differant stances and coil over set ups with a very low drop. I have heard lots of complaints and lots of compliments on the eibach kit. Its a lot on either side. The Super Sports are the best spring of the group and highest quality. But they are a 2" drop, and that is fairly large. Keep in mind that the lowest part on our cars is a good 3" or so lower than side skirts, so even though it doesn't look that low, it is.

I can't say I ever heard bad things about eibach, but I don't really know alot of people around me using them. Lowering your car too much in NYS is not a good idea. LOL I'm getting the prokit for the 1.5" drop and that's it. If you are just looking to get rid of the fender gap and better handling the prokit will be fine. I do like the look os the Sportline kit's 2" drop, but like I said, it's not a good idea where I live.

IF you get adjustable rear spring perches, you can adjust ride height in the rear, otherwise, you can't.

Sprotlines give the most drop I have seen...

They settle to about 2 1/4 inches...
