lift in your garage........lucky SOB......I would go with the FRPP springs (in your case)....I believe they are 1.5" all around.You will need an adjustable panhard bar and cambers since the drop is more then 1".

FRPP springs FTMFW!!!!!

i have them and love them. i did not do the adjustable panhard bar, 3rd link, lowers, etc, etc. all i did was an allignment kit. (camber bolts). i got all the parts from stangsuspension.com, the price was good, but no free shipping and the shipping was very very slow. took 9 days to get the springs. had the bolt kit in 4.

and i measured the difference it made after the drop for the centering of the rear end, and it was only 1/4" off. so i cant justify spending the $200+ on a panhard bar just to fix the little 1/4" offset. it drives fine and does not track with the road or anything so i'm not gonna do any of that until i have a better reason...like wheel-hop. now thats a good reason.

I went with the Steeda sports, 1" front, 1.25" rear, ride and handling are both very good.
Even with the extra .25" drop in the rear, the car still has a little rake.
Install is the same as any other spring, and is quite easy, instructions are also easy to follow.
Considering the road up here i'm glad I did not go any lower.
