I paid about $250 for everything including isolators, but I got a good deal on the springs off ebay. It dropped it freaking low! To be honest a little too low. It may be my tires though their prettty big. I'll take some pictures this weekend.

nice do they make just 1" lowering springs or are the lowest 1.5"? cuz i have 9" wide rims and they rub a little when the wheel is totally turned. and do you think they would rub any more w/ the 1-1.5" lowering springs? and would i need to get new controll arms or could i stay w/ the stock seeing as its not a 2" drop?
I think the Eobach Pro's are like an inch. You may be able to get away with 1.5. I dont think you have to get new control arms, but you might not be able to fully alaign your front tires.

PAC has the highest quality springs. How do I know this? Because I make them. We supply 95% of nascar with their springs. We also test all the competitors and they snap like twigs after awhile. Pretty soon we will be coming out with a street legal spring. Make sure u get an alignment after u get the job done.

do you currently make springs for Mustangs? how much do they cost? I would think most street driven cars would want a different kinda spring than those used in Nascar. Which competetors have you tested?

Steeda Springs drop the car about 1-1.25" Not the best for optimal appearance (IMO) but enough to get rid of the 4x4 look and still give you ground clearance.

Our testing department has tested over a dozen companies if not more. The aftermath is horrible. We currently do not have springs for mustangs...YET. In the world of nascar, a spring from a competitor can cost up to $1000. Thats only for one. As where our springs go for $250 a pop. And of course if u want powdercoat or different specs but keep it legal, then that adds up. Nascar is definately setup different. If u compared a set of mustang springs to the nascar ones they would look almost opposite. The skinny stiff springs go in the rrear and the shorter wider springs are in the front. When our springs become more available to the public they will be pretty pricey. But u are getting the best bang for ur buck. Most competitors springs last 1000 cycles which would be around one full nascar race. Ours last for about 10,000 cycles. I have never worked in a shop where quality has been sooooo tight as us. Racingsprings.com if u wanna check it out.
