H&R springs are much better quality springs and are less prone to sagging than eibachs. Your car is gonna be harsher regardless of which spring you go with unless you get a set of good shocks/struts to go along with them. A nice set of adjustable shocks/struts set to their softest setting would get you a similar to stock feel. However your performance with that setting will be greatly compromised.

I'd have your alignment checked just to be sure. Most mustangs that are lowered will require a c/c plate to fully align it to stock specs. Your not gonna like your new suspension setup if your leaving your shocks/struts stock. Your gonna complain about the stiffness cause the shocks/struts won't be allowed to fully compress/dampen.

strange 10 ways are one of the best budget shocks/struts out there. If you can spring for some tokico's.
