Eibach Pro kit here. But you will still hit bottom over speed bumps if your front wheels go over too fast.

For you that have lowered is the ride real ruff because when i put my 18's on with low profile it already messed up some of my ride quality

It does stiffen up the ride some, but it also greatly improves cornering.

The ride is "firm" - LOL

IMO the Pro Kit is just right, it's a "muscle car" - not a "lowered" look. Also, I think anything more than the Pro Kit will require CC plates - a couple of my numbers (I forget which ones) were borderline.

Anyone ever simply cut a ring off of end the stock springs and replace?
My mechanic (who races 'stangs and works for a Roush Dealer) suggested that as an option instead of New Springs.

250 for springs is cheap plus if you dont like the ride just put the stock spring back in. my bud put the d-speck shocks in after the springs he can make it ride like a caddy or a truck

I am worried as heck!!!!

I have the Sport Line in my garage...... Shuld lower 2"..... will be running on GT take offs.

I love cornering hard, and I thing the sportline will help me just do that...... I have to put some numbers together and see where it puts me in relation to the road surface.

BTW the CS6 is lowered 2"..... has got 20" rims but low prof on then...

anyone tried the sport line?????
