Default lowering springs

What would the best lowering springs for a 2001 GT be? I have looked around online but am trying to hear from the experts here what a good way to go would be. I don't want to spend too much money but I do have money to spend. Any help would be appreciated. I was thinking lowering it a bit but not so I bottom out on flat ground you know. I have been looking at the Eibach Sportlines. What do you guys think, after all you guys are experts. So, what does everyone recommend here?

I believe the sportlines are the lowest drop Eibach makes. I think you would like ford C springs for the Eibach pros. I believe they drop the car about 1-1.25 inches.

I bought a set of these and installed only the fronts.

A picture is attached to show the difference. It did drop the front about 1".

Do you think your springs drop the car more than the Sportlines? I am torn between the two.

To my knowledge, the Sportlines can drop from anywhere from 1.7" to 2.5"

The pro kit goes to 1.5" right? I am thinking more on the lines of 2" right now. We will see though.
