What about Ford racing or Roush springs? Also I can get the Eibach Pro kit with shocks and Struts for $640.00. Does that sound like a fair price or is there somehting better? I have about $600.00 to spend.

Roush are very expensive. I work for Ford and the deal I get for just the springs are more than double for H&R SS. And Ford racing springs are okay, they don't drop you that much.

RE: Lowering my 96GT....suggestions!
What kind of differences are you going to see between the prokit and the FRPP C springs when there is $100 price difference? Just a lower drop? I'm interested in getting some springs to settle my car down as well, but I don't want to spend an extra $100 for just another half inch, if that. Any comparison pics?

the ford spring don't give you a level drop, front to back, but I think eibachs do. the front drops more than the back on the C springs, and you get a little bit of a rake in the stance. I think the rake works well with the new edge look, and it helps get rid of the 4x4 look.

RE: Lowering my 96GT....suggestions!
What's the best shock/strut combo to go with Ford C Springs? Considering they're a lot cheaper than Eibachs, and they don't drop as much (I'll tear off my exhaust on some of the speed bumps around here), I'm almost definitely going with them, but I'd like to get s/s, possibly SFCs and a few other mods to firm up the body and give me a better ride. Any reccomendations as far as these parts go? Price is a factor.
EDIT: My goal with these mods is to get a more aggressive stance without tearing up my underbody. I HATE the SUV look, it's my car's biggest visual shortcoming right now.
