Default Eibach or Steeda?

So, I've been looking at lowering spring for my V6er and I'm having trouble deciding between the Steeda springs that lower about and inch (front = 0.75" + back = 1.0") and then the Eibach springs are about 3/4 inch lowering. I don't want to lower the car too much to where I can't go over certain speed bumps but I also want it low enough to notice and make a difference in handling. Open for opinions!!

Are you looking for Performance or Style?

The Steeda ultra lites have a less agressive ride. So the car would drive more like stock.

That's the only thing I'm kind of looking for both style and performance I just want to be able to drive my car anywhere and not have to worry about scraping the side skirts and my neons (that would suck bad) so it's really hard to decide...

Eibach if you want Performance+Style. My Steeda scrap the bottom if I'm not super slow/careful, If you live around a lot of speed bumps or hills, I wouldn't rec over 1 inch lowering.

I think that's what I have actually.
I love them to death, but you can feel a lot of bumps. And my rims are pretty big too, so they'd help a little bit.
But I want my 'stang all for show, I'm not into modding my engine tooo much. So I'm happy w/ Steeda, you would be too, they sit real aggressive looking.

yeah, i say neither. mine has these springs called suspension techniques and they look awesome! about 1" in the front and i think about 1.5" in the rear. but the car looks great and i dont have any trouble going over speed bumps. the front of the car looks so mean i get a lot of compliments. although that is mostly for its sound.

The Steeda Ultra Lites are on sale now. I like the ride, and haven't had any problem with bottoming out.
