Default which lowering springs????

i keep changing my mind on which springs to buy. I know im gettin H&R's but im unsure of either the super sports or the sport ones?i know ill need c/c plates for the super sports, but will i need them on the sport ones? is all the extra cost worth gettin the super sports over the sports? thanks in advance for any helpful info.

if you are undecided about lt's or shorties sports are the way to go, if your roads are crap sports are the way to go, if this is a dd, sports are the way to go.... unless you do not care if you scrape, then dont go with super sports.. they will be like a 2"-2.5" drop once settled in.

cc plates and shocks/struts are recommended but not required to drop your stang, I would highly recommend them because 1, if you are having a shop install them, this will save you on install fee's, 2. riding down the street on blown shocks/struts suck, 3, having to replace tires because your car has too much caster or camber suck.

I have a 2000 GT and will be going with the Sport Springs and a set of Bilstein HD Struts/Shocks.
I'm also having the full length subframe connectors welded on to support the body and make it more rigid to support the additional stresses from the new springs and shocks. In addition I am getting a set of rear adjustable LCAs. I've seen some folks who install the sport springs where the back end is not even with the front. The adjustable LCA's I'm hoping will help give me a bit more flexibility so I can dial in an even height. I may later go back and install a panhard bar, but not sure yet.
