Default Suggestions on lowering Springs....

So I was planning to get Ford racing springs that would give me about 1.25 inch drop until I looked at my car and realize just freaking high it is. I need lower drop than that so what spring should be looking that will also give me a comfortable ride? I have 17x9 wheels all around.

personally to me it depends on the roads your drive on daily, i mean like the amount of speedbumps steep inclines or declines etc...

like i personally would get an Eibach Sportline 2" drop all around roughly and get CC Plates / Bumpsteer kit but... i live in the hills and just waaay too many retarded steep inclines/declines & speedbumps and i even scrape bad on my chin spoiler / mid pipe... and all i have now is an eibach pro kit 1.5" drop.

just remember any drop more than 1.5" its "recommended" you get CC Plates so your tires dont wear unevenly & for the proper alignment and a bumpsteer kit for obvious reasons.

I think I will get the Eibachs with 1.5 drop instead. I don't want to spend money on cc plates and bumpsteer kits.
