Default RE: Need Suspension Mod Suggestions

Many choices here. All of the major brands are good (Eibach, Ford, Steeda, Roush). They are all good. I'd make a choice depending on how much lowering you want. Roush will sell you sets of just fronts or just rears. Some guys, myself included, lowered just the rear of the car. I think that's nice if you want a very mild drop.
A note to Vert owners...

The weight distribution of the Vert is such that unless you are adding weight to the front(hint, hint - SC), the Roush rear-only route leaves you with a rear that is a little too low...

I do mean "a little"...

If I were to remove the Skipper 1K box, I think that would have the front and rear EXACTLY level...

As it is, if I measure it, I find less than 1/4" difference (the rear too low)...

In my case, I don't care as I am about to add about 70lbs to the front (hint, hint - SC), but before anyone else out there reproduced the classic sagging rear of a 65/66 leaf spring, I thought I would warn you...
