Default C Springs vs Pro Kit

Which of the two are better and why? They both are similiar in drop but the C springs cost $100 less.

Doesnt the C stand for competition? If it does the C springs will be much too firm for the street. Youll feel every crack and crevice in the road surface.

PS: Or does the C stand for Crap?

I think the avg drop for the pro-kit is like 1.5" and the avg drop for the C springs is like 1". I think the ride quality would be better with the pro-kit, and I think the drop would look better too. I havent really seen many people with the C springs, so I dont know if they are crap or just not worth it compared to other brands.

The C springs are not progressiverate. The Pro Kit springs are. You're alsopaying a little bit for the Eibach name. Id suggest progressive rate springs for better ride quality. I think FRPP B springs are similar to the Pro Kit.

I've got the C springs, and they do give a nice drop.. More than what I was expecting.. The ride quality isn't too harsh, just like your normally dropped car.

Plus if you are into to drag racing, Eibach is crap and the C Springs are actually pretty good with weight distribution.

i just bought H&R Sport springs for 215shipped from stangsuspension.com, they say it drops the car 1.6 in front and 1.5 out back. i have heard that Eibach springs can sag over time and make the rear look lower than the front.

so H&R Sport springs are another option
