i think the h&r ride rough. thats at least what ive heard. not sure about the eibach and if you do anything please post before and after photos cause i was thinking about lowering my 02 gt ragtop at some point! also i looked at the ford racing springs because they offered not quite of a dramatic drop as the others and should maintain a decent ride too hope that helps some man!

Sportlines are terrible. Harsh ride is an understatement, they look fantastic, but ride like a log wagon.

Have you considered the Eibac ProKit springs?

Rick how do you like the prokit ride? And do you know how much it lowered your car?

I've had the h&r's on almost every mustang I've owned and I love them. I can't comment on the other brands because I've never had them on one of my vehicles but I am very happy with my h&r's.

I like the Prolines very much, lowered car about inch and a half in front and about an inch in rear.

I have a set of Eibach, don't like them. The back is starting to sag... I'd recommend going with H&R, or if you have the money, get coil overs.
