Default considering buying some lowering springs

I want to get a set of lowering springs. I wanted to try and get a set of Eibachs. I was looking to drop the car 2". mind u this car is a DD and I do drive it moderatly and not ***** out, well not all the time. want the car look nice for my new rims. They are the 18X9(front) and 18X10.5 deep dish black bullits(rear). any help would be appreciated. If you have any pics of your car lowered with a good set a springs....please post the pics up.

Eibach sportlines with koni yellows all around, maximum motorsports c/c and steeda bump steer... love it, and its my dd, with the yellows you can make it plush or rock solid.

You truly do not want to drop it more than an inch and a half. Anything lower requires rack and pinion off sets, steeda ball joints, caster camber plates. It really is a hassle. My friend has a 96 mustang gt with the eibach pro kit on it with the stock shocks. That thing has the perfect stance, it doesn't sit to low, (but he does scrape every now and then if he's not careful. I'll tell you when you get in this your thought automatically is, "this is going to be a bumpy ride" but after you get going and hit a few bumps you quickly realize damn this rides as smoothe as a cadillac if not better. As everyone is saying the h&r is a great spring kit but from all of my experience, the eibach pro kit is def. the way to go.That is what i'm buying for my car in mid july!!

Uhm.. I dont know what lowered car you rode in but the ride is DEFENITELY bumpy.

Thats just what happens, but it shouldnt be an issue because who the hell buys a mustang for the comfy ride.

H&R is a good brand and it will give you the stance that you want.
