Thanks for the info. Do you know of a place where I can get a quote for these items that has reasonable prices?

I agree with outlawz916..Make sure everything is in good shape on the front suspension..Any mustang repo place will carry the stuff you need.Here is an example. http://www.mustangsplus.com/xcart/Mu...andling-Parts/

It affects your ride height..Reverse would be the lowest,then mid and normal springs.

I use mid eyes alot they give it a nice look.

Both of these have Mid eyes 4 leafs, with The blue 620 coils in front. The Graba trac 620's dont lower it like these.

ok thanks for clearing that up. Those cars look great.

I was checking out the Graba trac kits, specifically this one:

620 front coil springs
Performance 4-Leaf Standard Eye Leaf Springs
Upgrade to mid or reverse eye leaf springs for $20 more.
Upgrade to 4½-leaf spings for $20 more and a $14 box charge.
Upgrade to 5-leaf springs for $40 more and a $14 box charge.
1” Front Sway Bar
Upgrade to to 1 1/8" front sway bar for $10 more.
Front and Rear Shock Absorbers
Polyurethane Coil Spring Insulators
Polyurethane Sway Bar End Link Kits
Polyurethane Sway Bar Frame Bushing Kits
New Leaf Spring Shackles with rubber bushings
4 Standard U-Bolts
Pair Of Spring Eye Bolts

You mention that the Graba trac 620s don't lower it like the ones you have on the pictures you posted, would any of the upgrades in the kit help with this? Also, considering I'm on a tight budget, would you recommend any of the other upgrades?

Thanks for the help.
