Default EIBACH vs H&R-- making tech. decision // HELP!

I dont really use the vehicle for track use. (2003 gt-- 5spd)

I want percision turning as well as the ability to launch strong--

I want a low drop, because it just looks better-- im sorry the gts have too much wheelwell space now =/

There is a future of forced induction coming- i want roll and launching abilities, I mean I dont mind .1-.2 in times, thats not a worry, but I dont dont want the car to ride like a peice of ****. I want to corner very well, as well have a comfortable cruise ride on the freeway and at normal speeds. Im already on 18x9 saleen rims and pending l/t's--

please give me some feedback on your experiences, and views on this subject.. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will have c/c plates, 7way adjustable shocks and struts, as well as Upper/lower ctrl. arms. (Is there anything else I should look into to bettet the steering or anything??)

NOW I NEED A SPRING. I cant decide, and I have never dropped a stang.

My decision is between EIBACH SPORTLINES or H&R SUPERSPORTS. I know the differences in the springs, and I have seen many photos, but with the users on the board overall which spring will suit my needs best??

If you are wanting to launch nice off the line then don't get either. Lowering springs are to stiff and wont alow for good wieght transfer.

But if you are more after looks the get the eibach.

In my opinion, 1.7-2.0 is a little too low. I'd hate to have to try to avoid from scraping on every bump. But if you think that's perfect ride height, try em out.

lowering springs are stiffer, therfore hindering weight transfer. the lower you go the less your going to be able to launch. just go pro kit, shocks and struts and LCLs and call it a day. that will be the best all around package. you are going to have to sacrifice handling for launching and vice versa. if you are really concerned about launching then go for the eibach drag springs. keep in mind that they dont make the car any lower. they actually lift it a little bit in some parts, but you will see a huge difference in launches

prokit looks to shabby to me.. i like the car tucked enough to look snug.

when i say i want to launch good, i mean on maintained roads. im not trying to be some track time hero or anything, but like i said i dont want the car to bog on launches if i go with sportlines.
