OK IM LOWERING THE GT. I want to go 2in in the front 1.8in in the rear, i pretty much want the stock fenderspace totally elminated.
im installing the bumpsteer, c/c plates as well the ball joint. Plus the tokico dspec shocks/struts..

MY CONCERN IS THE SPRINGS.

should i go with
EIBACH SPORTLINES or EIBACH PROKIT springs.
SALEEN SPRINGS
H&R SPORTS or SUPERSPORTS?

which is the best to go with? and what are the differences..

I dont' know of those, but I have the eibach sportlines and they are great. Rides a lot stiffer and corners freaking amazing. I don't have all the other stuff yet (C&C plates and bump steer kit) and I presume with those it will only get better.


If you have any steep driveways to go over be very careful... we have one at my house and it's a bear, I have to come at a specific angle to not scrape the tail pipes and front end

I saw a mustang in person at a meet the guy had the eibach pro-kit springs in the front and sportlines in the rear an it looked hawt! I'm not sure if its good for the suspension (prolly not) but man was it a clean drop, I think it depends on what size wheels you are gonna go with or have, with 17's I suggest the pro-kit and with 18's or larger the sportlines, I recommend eibach springs over the other brands you listed I have the pro-kit and I am very happy with the drop....

If you are looking for the 2 inch drop go with the Sportline. You will not get a 2 inch drop from the pro kit.

+1..

But if your going 1.5" I recommend the BBK Specific Rate kit. Only $170 shipped to the house from JEGS and the ride quality is great!

I have the H&R Sport Springs and they will not give you the drop you are looking for. They only do about 1.5" front and rear.
