Default Springs?

I am trying to decide which springs to order....Only problem is, I can't decide how low I want to go. Has anyone installed the Eibach sportline or shorter bmr springs with 20" rims? To low? Plus I want to stay with stock shocks, just replacing springs, I'm not building a race car, just want it to look bad ***. I am leaning toward the taller bmr's 1.25" front - 1.75" rear. A tad shorter then eibach pro's. Also, I'm not planning on putting ground fx on in the near future. How difficult r they to install, to much to tackle for an amateur with limited tools? Any input would be much appreciated, I have no experience with suspensions......

I have a friend who has the sportline on his new stang and i have to say that the stance is awesome but the ride isnt. It looks great and the springs settled to lower it about 2.25 inches. If you do decide to go with the sportline you're definitely going to nead camber adj plates as well as adjustable rear panhard because your rear end will shift off center with that low of a drop. The 20s fit really nice and snug and it looks and handles great, but rides really really stiff. The prokit looks and rides almost perfect with 20s if you want to keep stock shocks and struts. On the install, you probably wanna take it to a local shop and have them install it for about 150-250 bux the right way. Let us know how it goes. Good luck.
