Default Spring Kit Recommendations

I'm thinking pretty hard about installing a kit and did a quick search of Ebay to see what was out there. There were listings by Eibach, Steeda, Ford Racing, Dynamic Racing, CM, Vogtland, Springtech, Tein and Sprint. What confuses me is that prices ranged from $89.95 + shipping ($20) to $259. Just what is the difference? Does anyone have suggestions to go with or stay away from different manufacturers? I'm not interested in buying something just for the name. If the cheap springs are really crap, I'll stay away from them. But what would constitute crap and what makes one set better than another.

Appreciate any input. Thanks.

I'm happy with my Eibach Pro-Kit.

Yeah never heard any complaints about Eibach so that's what I chose.

There is a guy on Ebay who sells them for $150 plus $50 shipping. You can't beat that.

That is the best I've seen so far on Eibachs. Previous best was $215 shipped. The Dynamic Racing ones are $145 shipped.

You can't go wrong with the Eibach, Steeda, or BMR.
If i am not mistaken, the FRPP springs are made by Eibach.

FRPP K springs here. Same drop as the Eibach Pro-Kit. As said before, I think Eibach manufactures them for Ford Racing, anyway.
I am totally happy with the FRPP springs.

I'll need to research those. Of all the brands on Ebay that wasn't one of them. Anyone with experience with SpringTech? Those are shipped for $127.90.

Edit: OK. Slap me. FRPP IS Ford Racing. Got it. [:@] $204 shipped from StangMods.com. Not bad.
