Lowering Springs

DCstangGT · September 20th, 2006, 12:36 AM

I'm looking into buying some loweing springs so i'd like to know what other experienced mustang owners think would be the best for a reasonable price.

eibach makes good stuff, as does h&r springs. go look around at ohter cars who have them and decided what is best for you

I love my steeda comps...It gives the car a great look...Or if you want a major drop you can go with eibach sportlines...They give 2 inches all the way around I believe...

i bought the eibach sportlines, havent installed them but i can tell you its 2.0inches front and 1.8 inches rear lowered.

From what I have seen on the ones I have installed it looks like around 2 inches all around when they settle...They are a great spring just a pain in the arse to do an alignment with...

I love the Saleen Racecraft springs, I installed them on mine and it handles nice, dropped it down about an inch and a half. If you have any friends that have the sportlines, Steeda, saleen or any of those then ride in their car so you can see what the ride will be like. My buddy has the sportlines and it looks great that low but the ride quality is really stiff. It handles nice too though, it's really all on personal preference and what kind of ride height and ride quality that your looking for.

I just put on some Eibachs por kit and love 'em. Buy em off of JEGS they have the best price, their delivery is quick too. The prokit lowered my car about an inch .5 but the sport lines with lower it about 2 inches. If you lower it anymore than 1.5 you need to get caster/camber plates so you can align your car properly. I suggest either Eibach or Steeda. Dont go with cheap lowering springs!!!

I got some dropzone springs from AutoSportz.com for $99.99 + shipping. They lowered my car 2" all around. The ride is great. A friend of mine got the same kit and he hasn't had any problem either. It is low and I do have a hard time getting over speed bumps no matter how hard I try I hit most of the time. Small price to pay because my car looks badass. Do it to it.

mustangstud13 · September 20th, 2006, 10:10 PM

Ive never heard of dropzone springs. hope they work good. have you had problems with your alignment?

drdgt · September 21st, 2006, 01:25 PM

They have been good to me so far. But I did have trouble with the alignment. I need to get the camber kit so they can do it properly.

stangliter04 · September 21st, 2006, 01:54 PM

H&R super sports is what I went with, they are a great drop.

SlammedGT · September 25th, 2006, 12:23 AM

Ive got eibach springs on mine and I love them.Theyre fairly priced and after they went on the car looks and handles a whole lot better. As for how far it depends on how wide ur tires r. U can always buy a less radical drop spring and cut them to lower it more. Ive got just shy of a 2 inch drop in the back and the front is well over 3in. in the front, just shy of the tire rubbing.

DCstangGT · September 26th, 2006, 04:49 AM

does anyone know where i can find some side pics to compare the drops...or could someone post some please, that would help my a lot

ChrisJ · September 26th, 2006, 05:03 AM

My Pics

Go to "Pics Of My Mustang" to see pics of what Steeda Comp Springs will do...

The most dramatic drop is going to be the Eibach Sportlines...

Hope this helps...

DCstangGT · September 26th, 2006, 05:48 AM

from all the pictures i have seen, i think im gonna have to go with a 2" drop.......The Eibach Sportline

They make it really low and makes it look great...But speedbumps are not your friend...

matrixpuba · September 26th, 2006, 10:13 AM

H&R, eibach, steeda, saleen are all great springs. i would stay with a name brand imho and you should be fine.

GTSilver · September 26th, 2006, 10:57 AM

how much can i drop my stang before i have to get caster camber plates for the alignment...if i go with the eibach pro kit...thats only bout 1.5 in drop right?

Drgnracin72 · September 26th, 2006, 11:31 AM

you dont have to but i think its a good idea

matrixpuba · September 26th, 2006, 04:59 PM
