Default maybe someone could help with suspension

ok so i have the eibach prokit, dubarado also has it and his front sits a little lower than mine does, atleast by the looks of it, i want that raked look...i read about 4cyl fox springs but the handling sucks...what about leaving the eibachs up front and putting the stock rears back in?

you could try taking the rubber bushings off the front springs, it will give a subtle drop. I think that stock in the rear and eibach up front would be too much contrast and not look that good. just my .02

Ride quality will have more to do with your shocks/struts being matched with your springs.

You might just have to pick up a new set of springs.

I did not notice a big handling difference with the fox 4cyl springs, but I am running adj shocks/struts/

Stang suspension sells HR super Sports sepratley..what i would do, i would keep the pro kit in the rear, and drop HR SS in the front with out any isolators. Sportlines would be a better choice if you can find the fronts seperate.
