03 Mustang GT lowering springs - PLEASE HELP!
Hey, so I'm brand new to these forums and hopefully you guys can help me out.
I look forward to being apart of this community considering I just purchased my very first car, which I'm glad to say is a Mustang GT.
Although, being that I am new to Mustang's, I was wondering if you guys could throw some good ideas at me for lowering springs.
This car currently sits high on the springs that are on it, and I'm not really digging the look.
Price is not really an issue. The car pictured below is mine. It's a 2003.
Any suggestions/help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

depends on your price range and the drop you would like to have. generally you would change the shocks/struts at the same time, ive heard the wear that springs put on the stock shocks will decrease their life, but of course you dont have to if you dont want to. Also, if you lowered it and got new rims, it would look sick!
As far as springs, i agree on the H&R super sports or look into Eibach pro kit springs. keep us updated

If price is truly not an issue then look in to lowering it properly with drop spindles.
You retain the stock suspension travel, no need for CC plates for proper alignment, and no bumpsteer issues...

$550 without the road race option which is not needed on any street car (the road race option also means they are not powder coated, to allow better visual inspection).
Balance that against that you do not need new front springs ($100), CC plates ($200), or kludgy bumpsteer fixes ($150). and the cost becomes only $100 more than using lowering springs...

Regarding the springs, what is it you do with the car? Is this your daily driver? Do you track it?
