Default Can I Lower 1 Inch?

Does anyone make a 1 inch all around drop? I've got some ebay springs i've had for awhile and they are too low for my liking since adding the roush stuff, I thought about maybe just swapping the springs out, to maybe some eibach pro's or something, and also what about the kit you can buy at autozone and stuff to put in your springs and make it raise the car 1 inch, would this be a possibility for me you think? I'd hate to spend about 400 bucks or so on a nice set of springs and alignment if i can just use what i have and these.

I also looked at the isolators since i do not have them now, but if i have to go through the trouble of doing the spring install i may as well upgrade. Any opinions would be great. Thanks

i was looking over at stangsuspension and seen the B springs, which i think it said lower about the same but i guess are suppose to be more of a better ride quality. those are definately an option

C or B springs would be good. They drop 1.25" in the front and .75" in the rear. I paid I think $150 for my C springs from AM.

you could always cut the stock springs... its free

if you dont like the drop or ride you can get some nice aftermarket ones.

Did you ever decide on wheels/tires and springs?

Yes sir.

with 17x10.5 in back with big ole' 315 Sumitomo-itimosumo(sp?) tires.
And Ford Racing C Springs.
Got a DEAL from oewheels that put AM.com and tirerack.com to shame.
