eibach springs are actually a lot less stiff than most people think they are, the main reason why your car rides like *** is due to the fact that your stock shocks/struts arent able to dampen much with any type of shorter than stock spring. Eibachs arent all that great at cornering, but make you think that way as the stock springs were very forgiving and designed that way. H&R springs would have to be the ones I'd say handle the best out of all the diff mustangs I've sat in during our mustang club's autox day.

I got the eibach prokit on my car. lowered it bout 1.5". still have a moderate amount of wheel gap but its delable considering the handling. eibach springs r stiff so the ride may be a little harsher(not really bad though) but they do let your car corner better. if you want a low stance got with the sportlines

What ever brand springs you like. If you want to go low you'll need CC plates. And don't forget your alignment when you're done.

RE: Lowering Question
areon is right, you need new shocks and struts for sure. fora 2" drop you also need c/c plates. But if I may, I recommend getting only a 1.5 drop, esp if you plan on doing any kind of a body kit, except the cobra front end bc it has a straight lip and you can lower your car 3" with it if your very careful... I have to be very careful with mine, and i have a 1.5

I would not recommend spending that much on an eibach coilover system. The only reason or way I would recommend eibach products if your looking for performance gains, is if they were cheaper. Unfortunately they are not, they are more prone to sagging than any other spring I have seen. H&R's have had an amazing track record so far, and as for a coilover kit, buy them from a company that actually track tests their products, Griggs and Maximum Motorsport coilovers are about the only ones I would trust as they thuroughly track their products.
Good luck with your decision, take what everyone says in here with a grain of salt.
