American Muscle says they're a 1.6" drop in front and 2" in the rear if that's the same ones. I'd vote Tokico too, based on the reviews I've read here and they're adjustable. Been doing a lot of research on them too, I'm saving up for a set in the near future. Let me know how it all works, would love to see more firsthand reviews from folks who use them!

Okay, so I recently lowered my car on Eibach Sportlines (about a 2.5" drop all the way around) and let me just say it is EXTREMELY bumpy.
I then purchased the Eibach Pro Damper shocks and struts to get rid of the bumpy ride with the OEM shocks and struts.
Sadly the Eibach's are on backorder at AM, and I'm an impatient person.
I had talked to someone before, and they told me it would be better to go with the Eibach shocks and struts since they were designed exactly for the spring compression and ride height of the Sprtline springs,
but i'm impatient, and the Tokico ones being on clearance are seeming very nice right now..despite the 100$ price difference.

I DD my car, back and forth, around town.
I've never taken it on a road course (although i REALLY want to, sadly it will probably be next spring before I can...), although I do go to the drags occasionally.

kput,
Your Stang looks sick! I love the boss hash marks on the fender as well, compliments the wheels really well. As far as the Eibach sport lines go, they're 1.6in'F/2.0in'R. That aggressive spring rate will definitely ride really bouncy on stock struts/shocks. A set of Tokico D-Specs will be great for your current set up, they're very comparable to the Eibach kit.
Let me know if you have any questions, thanks for being a great and loyal customer!

Congrats! Wish i had that kind of money. When i get my springs ill prolly ride with stock struts and shocks for a while before i could afford some aftermarket ones.
