Default suspension mods

hey guys, I have a 2001 mustang GT with Eibach sportline springs and UPR camber plates. I was going to upgrade the shocks and struts to help with the ride. Any suggestions. And will new shocks and struts cause my car to raise at all? I actually want my car a little lower in the front. It doesnt sit as low in the front as I thought sportlines were suppose to. Any suggestions on that as well would be appreciated.
Thanks guys,
jrite34

I would suggest Blistein Shocks/Struts. They are one of the best out there. Here is a package you can get. Im not 100% sure butI elieve they are adjustable. So you should be able to lower your car even more.

If you're able to spend more money try the Blistein Coil-over kits. They can be lowered up to 3 inches all the way around.

It could be tough to throw down 1.5k for some suspension but if you have the money its totally worth it.

I agree with 03StangerGT , it comes down to cashflow and sacrificing driveability, 3 inch drop sounds painfull over speedbumps, dips, and other crap.

I plan on just getting a good set of Monros or other similar struts and shocks for mine.

I can't afford to drop big $$$ on them when I got other things I want to do. With 105K on mine and I don't know if hey have been replaced or not, that works for me, it is better then nothing.

Strange 10 way adj, KYB AGX 5 Adj, or Bilstein's. I found my KYB's on ebay for $275 + shipping. Made a huge difference rides smoother and stiffer in corners.

Tokico D-specs, Coilover conversion front and back so you can adjust the ride height to your liking, bumpsteer kit in front. Pan hard bar, rear lower control arms and adjustable rear sway bar in back.

A real good bang for your buck are also Tokico 5 way adjustables. I have em with Steeda Sport springs and I love em. The springs I have arent quite as drastic as the eibachs I think, so that may effect what shocks/struts you should get...
