Lowering springs
Which ones do ya'll like? What else is an issue once lowered. There is a company selling Vogtland springs paired with Toxico adjustable struts and shocks for around $500, never heard of Vogtland. Any info on them (they offer a 15 year no sag guarantee). Will caster or camber be affected? How about rear end geometry? I have read bits and pieces about these issues but they seem to be more sales pitches than facts. Just wanting to know what people that are lowered experience so I can have my ducks in a row when I do this. Thanks

Ghost, I love my Steeda Sport Springs. They're a 1"F/1.5"R drop. Go any lower than that and you have to start fiddling with the other suspension components.
No loss of ride quality.

I bought the Tein "H" springs. 1.7" rear and .9" front advertised drop. They were very affordable at $132.00 which included shipping. I have 18 inch and 35 series tires so the ride is a bit firm. The next step is to get the adjustable shocks to soften the ride. In case you are interested in the Tein spings I got them on ebay and they have 2 diffrent sets for the 05 Mustang. BTW, installation is very easy if you get the spring compressor.

GGIII, Mr. Mustang thank you for the input. I have heard good things about the Steeda springs as well. Never heard of Tein though, I have been all over E-bay which is where i found the Vogtland spring and Toxico strut/shock package deal. Would Tein be listed under something else?

Ghost: I just installed a set of Kenny Brown Sport Springs that I got with the Cervini's Kit and I must say the ride is better than the stock ride. But from what I here Kenny Brown Sprins are real hard to get at this time. The Eibach Sport Line Lowering Kit is the same kit as the KB kit and it runs about $30.00 dollars more that the springs I have. Around $269.95 for the Eibach. The KB sprins lowered the car 1"FT / 1.5"RR I am so glade that I lowered the car.

Hi Ghost,
I also purchased the Steeda springs and love them. You can get 3 different models. I'm sure the competition springs are really stiff.
I got the intermediate and don't see much difference...
Here what it looks like...
Good luck
