Depending upon wear/tear/mileage ... balljoints, sway bar endlinks, etc.
If you're going to do this right, do springs, shocks/struts, spring isolators, and c/c plates (if you want true alignment). I've got (cheap) DropZone springs in my 'stang & I'll put 'em up against Eibach or any other 'brand name' any day of the week. Ride comfort, handling, everything is great ...
You don't have to spend a ton of $$ to go low, and enjoy your ride. But if you're going to do it, get all your parts & do it in one step.
BTW, for the best handling, ensure you've got a rear swaybar as well ... stockers didn't come with one.

Cheap springs ride good at first, yes. Over time cheap springs will start to sag and give you horrible driveability and safety. Ever heard of "You get what you pay for" ? It's your car so do what you want, but If I'm going through all of the trouble of ordering, droping 1$, installing... I'll just put that 1$ with a couple more and get some springs that I'm only going to have to replace once. Thats JMO though.

Eibach Sportlines or H&R's, and if you can get either Bilstein, Tokico, KYB AGX, or some other performance shocks.

I agree, with sportlines, you'll never have to change the springs again. I hear H&R springs are awesome too, but most folks I know run the Eyebachs!! I also hear that the vogtland springs are cool too, I believe the Saleens use the German springs. GL

Pretty muchall coil springs in the world, from car springs to springs to keep buildings from collapsing in earthquakes,are made in one place. The Eibach plant in Germany.

Cheap springs just don't care about quality and that's why they suck, and are generally made in China, that's why people always say H&R and Eibach typically are synonymous, they are made by the best ones to have do it.

For sure, I don't know about you, but I hate doing the same work twice. Do it right the first time, save yourself some money, and double the work.
