Ok, prokits suck. They ride like crap and they sag in the rear. So you heard correct. I'd stay away from the eibach lowering springs as they all usually do that. Now i know you do not want to "slam" the car, but i will suggest the H&R SuperSport springs. They are perfect for stangs and give them the best stance possible without coilovers i think. And you can always buy the new urethane spring isolators to give you some extra height if you think that they are too low. But usually, you wont find anyone thinking that a stang is too low seeing that they sit like a 4x4 stock. So I suggest the SuperSport springs. What shocks and struts are you running BTW???

I've heard that about the Eibach from more then one person. As for the H&R SuperSports I like the stance they give just seem pretty low for a D/D. The shocks and struts we went with are the Adjustalbe KYB/AGX. Rides really nice over stock.

I have them and I still tear up the insides of my front tires
I thought the C/C plates would prevent tire wear by allowing proper alignment. Is there more that should be done?

If you like the stance, Keep the springs and up-grade your shocks and struts with adjustables. They will allow you tune your supension and get a much better ride. Just my .02. Did you notice any difference in ride height from one side to the other?

I do not think that they will be too low for a DD. Thats what i plan to put on my DD. If you think that the ride height is too low, just buy some of the new urethane spring isolators from american muscle and they will raise it back up a little bit. But by far the best springs ive seen on a car are the H&R supersport springs.

That is what I plan to do unless I go for a coil over kit.

I see no difference from one side to the other. I picked my set of springs here off a member for I believe 150.
