I am going to purchase lowering springs, i want my car to be lowered 1.5 inches. What are the best springs to get... i heard eibach but im not sure which ones.... also... whats the next best thing after springs that i can do that is less than 200 to improve handling the most... im thinking a strut tower brace but maybe you guys know of something more beneficial

everybody has springs, eibach, steeda, ford racing, bbk, ground pounder and even more the best ones are probably the first four i mentioned i know ppl that has stangs with eibach and steeda and they are all satisfied with there set ups</P>


for other mods check out control arms, sub frame connectors </P>

im choosing bewteen </P>


Eibach Pro-Kit spring set 1.5" F 1.5" R </P>


OR</P>


H&amp;R sport spring set 1.6" F 1.5"</P>


Which one do you guys think is the better bet and why on the H&amp;R springs does the front have a .1 more lower than the Eibachs</P>

I've got a 03 gt, and I just put in the steeda sport springs, they only claim about an inch to 1.25, butt it lowered almost 2 inches, they came out better than expected. I only paid about 180 for my springs new on ebay, eibach and everyone else is 220ish, dont bother payin all that. put some of that saved money towards your caster/camber plates.

Kenny Brown springs are matched springs, dropped my car approx 1.5 - 1.75 and its perfect, night and day difference over stock, very neutral and predictable in corners. I cannot speak for/against other brands. I also did the caster plus kit and an alignment.</P>

rear control arms are the next best suspension mod...jdsperformance.com sells both upper and lower control arms for 185 plus shipping. Just make sure you get ones with poly bushings if your car is your daily driver</P>

1 more thing.... when u install springs... is there anything else that i want to install like an alignment kit or something... thats what it recommends to do on websites like tirerack.com , but im guessing they just want to make a couple extra bucks and you dont really need to do anything... what do you guys thinks

Yes, the car needs to be aligned after installing the kit..............any shop can do it......whoever install them for you will also do the alignment.</P>
