Default Ford Racing B Springs

So I want to drop my car a bit. I don't race, it's a daily driver, and I'm pretty much doing it for looks. Stangsuspension recomends the ford B springs if you don't plan on redoing the entire suspension, but I've never heard anyone on here mention them. Is there a reason for this, or is it just that the eibach are a better buy wityh a better look.

The Ford Springs BARELY lower it, you will hardly notice a difference and if you don't tell anyone, they will still think it's stock.

I suggest some H&R Super Sports.

The B's lower the car 1 1/4 " and they are soft compared to most. It just depends on how low you want it to be so consider the roads where you live too as I have heard a lot of people say they drag their pipes on speed bumps with eibachs.

Thats what made me look into them in the first place. I was just going to go with eibachs but I have duels and noGT bumper as of yet, and I smack my pipes going into some parking lots in my area already. I think the H&R's will be way too low for me...I'm not looking to "drop" it, just want to lower it since I'm getting new wheels and figure it's a good time to do it.

I feel like 1-1 1/2 will be plenty. Can anyone else confirm that the B's will at least be noticable? Thanks!

Yes they will be to anyone that really pays attention but maybe the C's would be better then. I love the nice rake they give your car. They drop the front about 1.5" and the rear about 5/8" but you can cut off the dead coil for a full 1" drop. I still haven't drug on anything even with a passenger and you won't need CC plates either.
