so:

EIBACHS = soft (rate) spring

H&R = hard (rate) spring

well.. i want a nice low tight drop.. i dont like the wheelwell 4x4 bs junk and the 1.5" drops are not that low.
what would you suggest i do? sportline is like the perfect drop.. the supersport h&rs arent that low..
H&R has 4 different springs all varying in drop and spring rate. I thought maximum motorsports had the spring rates listed but apparently not. As far as spring rates goes from lowest to highest it does: sports, supersports, race, super race.

http://www.maximummotorsports.com/HRsprings.asp

Heres a picture of my buddies 02 GT with super sports



Really you cant beat the quality of H&R either, I'm not saying eibach is bad because alot of people have them and are happy with them just from my personal experience I prefer H&R. I think you would be really happy with the supersports it gives a nice drop, handling is better, and the spring rate isnt to high so it doesnt kill your weight transfer. Maybe somebody can come in here and shed some more light on eibach if they have anything similar to the H&R supersport.

I did my springs and shocks and struts at the same time I could feel a bit of difference in the handling but not alot. I did my SFC, LCA, UCA at the same time and it was a huge difference. The SFC really tie the car together for some awesome handling and the LCA really help to plant the rear end.

Quality wise you really wont find much if anything better than H&R. Maximum motorsports is one of the best mustang suspension sites, if u will notice in all of there packages that have springs they use H&R. Really I dont know alot about eibachs springs hopefully somebody else will be able to tell u more about them. Here is a couple more pics of my buddies car though

Only u can decide if it is good or bad. Lower the spring rate the better for drag racing but the worse for cornering.

No, springs dont make a huge difference if u think sportlines look the best go for it I'm sure you will be happy with them.
