I have been looking at the eibach sportlines and h&r super sports. Do any of you guys have these? And what do you think? If i got the sportlines would i have to replace the shocks and struts? Thanks for the help.

H&R supersports here. either of those are an excellent choice and you really should change the shock/struts and you surely need caster camber plates.

I got the eibach sportlines last week and installed em my self, took anout 3 hrs but should take less time if you know what your doing. The look is definatly better than the 4x4 look. I decided on the sprotlines over the pro kit b/c it seems no one on here was happy with the drop they provided. But yea my stang looks great, I have no c/c plates but havent gotten an alignment yet so I might have to get some. Id go with the sprotlines though you wont be disapointed

I have H&R supersports paired with Bilstiens and I love the set up. It does fine for a daily driver and at highspeeds the car is extremely stable and smooth; it feels glued to the road. Your going to have to buy shocks/struts sooner or later so you might as well take things apart only once.

Bump! Thanks for the help everyone. If i waited on the shocks and struts, how long would the stock ones hold out for with new springs?

I am installing my C springs tomorow and keeping my shocks/struts for a while. If you are close to replacing them anyway, just do it when you do the springs. I only have 13k miles so I am not going to bother for a while.
