Default What is the best lowering kit for a 2002 GT?

I just bought a 2002 mustang GT nearly stock. It sits way to high and i want to buy lowering springs. My question is what is the best kind to get? I want a staggered type look, a little lower in the front then the back but nothing crazy...Any suggestions?

The Eibach Pro Kit springs are a very popular for the New Edge cars. They drop it enough to look good, but they don't slam it so much that it ruins the handling. Our UPR Pro Series springs are made by Eibach and spec out the same as the Pro Kit springs.

coil overs if you can afford them

if you lower it a lot, you'll want to get some caster/camber plates

search the forum and read the sticky's on suspension

So far no issues. I'm rocking Drop Zone springs off ebay. Had them on for 3 yrs now. No other lowering modication except caster cambers...

I still don't know which springs im going to get. It's between Eibach Pro Kit or H&R super sports, either way I'm sure ill be happy

You will hate the eibachs and you will love the H&R's.
Does that further clear it up for you?
