it depends on what look and what performance you want....If u want good weight transfer for drag then only 1/2-3/4 with drag springs and if your lookin for handling and style anywhere from 3/4-1 1/2..

personally im all about the weight transfer thats y stock springs work wonders right now.....

true true some brands still give you great weight transfer but if you want optimum weight transfer, drag springs, k-member, upper and lower control arms are going to be your best setup.

ive seen my friends 04 mach1 thats droppin 1.5 all around N/A run a 12.2 @113 and his 60' was a 1.8 on DR's

I got the Eibach Pro-Kit and 18x9 265-40-18s in front and 18x10 275-40-18s in rear. No scraping and no issues with alignment. Looks wicked.

i just want to do a big "no-no" and do just springs for a little bit then get shocks. how long can i expect stock shocks to last with a like 1.5" drop with cc plates?
