I have a friend of mine who owns a tire shop in town here and he will get me the Eibach Sport springs that lower my car 1.3"& 1.4" installed and he is going to do the alignment and everything for $440.. Is that a bad deal? He said that he was wanting to set up the springs to match the new tires that I am getting. My brother thinks I can get a better spring for a better price, but my friend is usually on the ball.

you should get new shocks and struts while you have it apart. the stock ones will go bad very quickly when lowered.

I'm ImportSlayer's brother. His friend told him to ONLY go with Eibach or H&R. That leaves out Bilstein, Ford Racing, Koni and Roush. I don't trust the guy to give my brother the best springs. I have a feeling he's giving my brother the springs with the best profit margin. I'm thinking he should go with Bilstein shocks and springs. We had those on a previous Mustang GT and it handled well and was firm but not abrasive.
