you can go with any spring set up really. its just how miuch of a drop you want. Sportlines will give you a 2.00Inch drop. Pro kit will give you a 1.5 and H&R's SS Springs will give you a 1.75 in the front and 1.5 in the rear.

By the way this is the wrong section to post this question but its alright. but next time you will want to post in the Modular Mustang Area and then go by the year mustang you have. Since you put this in the wrong section that is why noone responded to you.

you can use whatever springs you want. you just need to adjust the tire sidewall height whenn you buy new tires. mines lowered 1.5 up front and 1.75 out back. I run 18's with a 35 profile and have nooooooo problems.

go to american muscle and it will tell you what tire size you need for the rims you want. im running h&r ss springs and 17 and i have plenty of room for 18's. think 18's also raise your car too

Guide


I'm running Eibach Pro-kit springs with 1.5 inch drop on stock rims/tires.
Looking at going with Eibach Coil-overs and 18x9 up front with 245/40/18 NT05's
and 18x10 rear with 285/35/18 NT05's

Eibach Springs, and invest in the pro damper kit.. makes all the difference.

18x9 and 18x10, 275x35R18 all around, clean look, no need to mess with the speedo.
