Exclamation lowering the stang questions

hey guys I'm now looking to lower my stang and was wondering what you guys suggest. I'm just looking to lower it, I'm not getting into the handling to much i just want that sleek dropped look. I was told that steeda springs are the best when you dont want to change everything else is this true. I dont want a harsh ride either would i really need to do the struts and shocks.

If you guys have pictures of your cars lowered as well that would be great to see especially BLACK.

Thanks

I lowered mine 1.5 inches and did not change the shocks and struts. I dont think the ride is much rougher or maybe I just didn't notice since there aren't many potholes where I am. I figured I'll get the most out of the stock ones before upgrading.

I love my frpp k springs. alot less weight transfer and look better. its a 1.5" drop. no matter how much you drop it, you will need a panhard bar to center the rear. keep in mind we have a 3 link rear suspension system, so as it drops, it kicks out to the side.
