Default suspension

Over the summer I drove about 2000 miles to get to school with all of my crap in the back of my mustang. The suspension was getting tired anyway but this makes the nose sit higher and it looks funny. I was wondering what do you guys suggest for springs and shocks. I was thinking Eibach Prokit and tokico. If anyone has this stuff let me know cause I need some feedback before I buy all this stuff. Also I wanted to get wheel spacers for the back and a new shifter.(thinkin Steeda...) any thoughts would be helpful

you've picked good stuff to eye. i don't have springs/shocks but i've driven a car that has ford springs / tokico's. they made a nice difference. eiback makes quality stuff i don't think you could go wrong.

I just put the Eibach prokit and Tokico HPs on this Sunday. I'm very happy with them so far. Doesn't really ride all that much different than stock (my car only had 2,000 miles at the time). Not harsh at all, just smooth and firm. Handling improved a lot. I think they would be a good choice.

put up a link to the ones you're looking at, i'm interested in some as well. i think it would be fine if it was a small amount, perhaps a centimeter or 2 and if they were strong.

I was lookin at these and measued out the gap to be about an inch and a half in the rear so that would be 40 mm heres the site =>http://www.livermoreperformance.com/...rs.html#Eibach and thats the best price I can find.

Pro Kit is not much of a drop at all, just installed Eibach Sportlines and Tokico Blues, and as Tony would say... they're great!

Hey krafty how much did the sportlines that you got lower your car because i need to measure a good distance from the ground to the front bumper because i live out in the country and i have really crappy streets so i dont want to tear the sh*t out of the front of my bumper lol. But i do want to buy some sportlines though. And where did you buy your shocks and struts from?
