Default Time to slam my pony?



Thats my current ride hight. i have GT takeoff shocks and coils so my front end is slightly lower than the rear i love the look but my moss mustang mag came the other day and the lowering springs caught my eye.

How low should i go? i want to be able to clear speed bumps and the lip on my driveway but i dont want to buy springs that lower only like 1/4 of an inch.

The ones that caught my eye are

Lowering spring Kit by Ford Racing Lower 1.5" $224
Springs Byt Apex Lower 25mm in front 30mm in back $159.95
Lowering Springs by H&R Lower 1"-2" $249.95

If you know any other types, feel free too throw them in

thanks!

The pic in my sig is lowered with FRPP springs. I have to go pretty slow over speedbumps and a little slower into my driveway but I've never scraped

or is that if you really drop your car ?

mild drop of 1.5" needed ?

dude honestly don't go with eibach. Everyone says go with eibach because most of them haven't experienced the difference between eibach and h&r. If you can go with the h&r's, they handle much better. I wish I waited for the h&r's instead of being stubborn and wanting to slam my car asap.
