No I don't mind them. They give a good stance and make the car look better overall. Maybe a little uneven but not noticable unless you bust out the measuring tape.

I just want stock springs back in me car, argh!

Did you upgrade your shocks? Why do you want to return to stock?

I dont like the prokit because it sags in the rear and didnt lower the car enough for my tastes, and they still dont handle that great either. Lowering springs should be a mix of looks and performance and i feel that eibach's springs are lacking in the performance aspect of things...and with the prokit, the looks as well.

Stock springs = better launching.

if that is true, why should I buy these springs? I dont really want them if its for looks only.... I want to feel "lower" in the car as well (like a lower center of gravity sort-of-speak)

Lol well you need to figure that out. One thing you can do for yourself is search for drag suspension threads on other forums or google it. There is a lot of good info out there about setting up Mustangs for the drag strip. Once you read up on that you can decide whether or not Eibach springs fit what you are wanting from your car.

Why do you want to feel "lower" in your car? lol

Yeah I mean thats what im trying to figure out, if I will like them. A few people have said they dont like them, and I just want to know why they dont so I can help build a better picture of what I will get with these springs. Im not necessairly setting the car up for the drag strip, I just want the car to get out of its 4x4 stance, however, I still have to have some advantage to doing this (other then just making the car look lower)

And for the second part, if you can lower your center of gravity, you feel "lower" in the car... meaning that you are closer to the road... not up on a 4x4 rocking back and forth on the suspention. Thats what I mean by lower, you know, like driving a gocart or something... your literly "on the road" and you can feel it driving

Are you looking to have a drag only setup or what??? If youre wanting to drag the car, get aftermarket shocks and struts and cut your stock springs to desired height. If you want a good looking and handling street car that can handle what you throw at it, i think that H&R SS springs would do you just fine. I dont like eibach springs though just because of the sagging in the back and the overall not lowering it a lot. It got a good inch and a half maybe, but i think that if im going to pay for lowering springs, im gonna want the lowest springs that i can find that handle well, because they are all around the same price, give or take a couple bucks.
