Default What is the best lowering springs?

I have a 2001 mustang gt and want to lower it. What is the best springs out there? I want to improve the ride or atleast maintain what I have. I don't want it stiffer. Do you have to use the camber adjustment plates? Does putting shock/struts really improve the ride over factory? If so, what brand?

ford B spring were the softest springs I found when searching, and they are amongst the cheapest too. if you go more than 1.5 inches, you probably will need c/c plates. you own't need the c/c's with any of the ford racing springs.

it really depends on how much you want to lower your stang... anything beyond 1.5" of lowering you will need cc plates and maybe some new sets of shocks/struts. eibach pro kit is pretty good for anything smaller than a 1.5" drop...

eibach pro kit plus. You get the pro kit springs, shocks, struts, front anti sway bar, rear anti sway bar. All for about 800.

If you go over speedbumps fast you will. Just go over bumps sideways and you should be fine.

The C are the stiffest (not a noticeably harsher ride IMO either), along with the most popular. You can't beat the springs for $130 - FRPP all the way! [8D]
