Default lowering springs or longtubes??

I've heard that if you get longtubes then you can't lower my car 97 mustang GT. i really want to lower it because i hate how high the 96-98 mustang sit in the back. what should i do, just go with the shorties and lower it??

But then again... you eat glue, lol. But seriously, I think you'll be okay with an Eibach pro-kit and LT's.
