Default Springs question

I can't decide which springs to buy on mustangtuning.com... What is the difference between getting springs like the IMP orange looking springs for $139.99 and Steeda Sports for $229.99? The steeda's will lower my car a touch more but besides that is it worth the extra 90 bucks?

they reduce body roll during cornering acceleration and stopping. in other words, they stick the car to the ground better.

Here's another option. Most kits out there lower all 4 corners the same. The Roush springs don't. This kit lowers the front 1.5" and the rear .75". Gives the car a slight rake. V6 ROUSH SPRINGS
I had them, and loved them. I'd buy them again in a heartbeat.


EDIT~~
You DO know if you lower the front more than 1.5", you WILL need caster/camber plates, don't you?

Yeah i made a post about the CC plates yesterday i think, but the Ford Racings springs only lower i think it said 1"-1.25" so in that case i wouldn't need the CC plates correct?

Yup. Keep the drop to 1.5" or less, and they aren't needed.
