Default Tien Lowering Springs

So I just got my new rims on my baby....pics soon to follow....but this wheel gap is bugging the hell outta me. I usually have patience, like saving money but I want a quick fix... Would this set be too drastic. I know I'd need to replace the shocks/struts and get some C/C plates. What do you guys think. This or a maximum motor sports coil-over kit?

"spring rate, Front 537, rear 269"


Are you ****ing kidding me? That's softer than the POS Prokit and Sportlines. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY too soft for that much of a drop.

OK that's what I wanted to see...Springs need to be stiffer the lower the drop? Kinda still learning about this $h!t. What would you recommend?

Start here: http://www.stangsuspension.com/store...tesarticle.asp

Most guys on here just throw on Pro Kit and don't give it any more thought.
For sake of comparison, I'm running H&R SS. They're still a bit soft for my taste, but the Race springs don't drop enough for me.

Had a pro-kit before seemed decent. I have interest in auto-x but I don't think I'm quite there yet. Would a coil-over set up be worth it?
