Default WANTED: pics of lowered Mach's

I am currently looking at a set of lowering springs and in a couple of my earlier stangs i went with the Eibach Pro-Kit they worked well but i wasnt impressed with the appearance on my 86 GT. How do the Sportlines look? or do you prefer a different set. ride quality isnt the biggest of factors as i am a performance enthusiast so i love to feel my car and i want it to grab the turns a little better but also sit nicely.

Just remember Machs already sit a half inch lower, so that needs to be accounted for when shopping for springs.

How important are the iso's when it comes to ride quality, and safety?

The ride quality is similiar to stock. I also replaced the shocks/struts with Bilsteins though.

The iso's keep the springs quiet. It prevents metal to metal contact. You can wrap the springs in tape or something to quiet them down and make the car lower. I think I may go lower in the front by taking the isos out.
