Default Lowering Springs

I have a 95 GT that I am looking to lower. I want to go with Eibach springs. I notice that the SportLine springs lower the car 2.0 inches vs. the Pro-Lines that only lower it 1.5 inches. What do you guys recommend? I obviously want to go with the lower SportLine's but I dont want to if they will be ****ty. Please let me know from personal experince what you recommend. Thanks guys!!!

I just put the Pro-Kit in my 94, from an appearance standpoint, sure I'd like it to be lower BUT my ride quality is the same as stock, I don't have to worry about tearing my exhaust off on speed bumps, I didn't have to get caster camber plates, my tires don't rub the wheel well. Its all about what you want, if I was going to keep my car in the garage and only stare at it, sure I'd drop as much as I could, but if you actually plan on driving it on the street and don't want any hassles, then maybe the Pro-Kit is for you as well.

going lower than 1.5 would require, bump stear kit, CC plates and an allignment.

also going with lowering springs its always a good idea to upgrade your socks/struts in order to make you car maintain the stock feel. lowering yoru car increases spring rates which can make your car feel rough during daily driving on stock shocks/struts.

generally that is.
