Default springs?

what are the best upgrade springs that will comfort the ride of the car better cause the stock ride like a tank and i want to get a more smooth ride but also the better handling and more aggressive look. ime looking at the h and r blue sports , could you guys that have done this let me know how the ride is on the springs you uped to over the stock?
thanks

Default RE: springs?

first off let me say: haha

you bought a mustang, and you want a soft ride, but good handling? make up your mind bud, you can't have both. Suspension travel = comfort, Handling = low suspension travel.

I got my car dropped 1.2" all around with road magnet springs and kept my stock shocks and struts. It rides rougher and stock but it feels more solid, and with sway bars and my bridgestone potenza RE 960AS Pole position tires, it handles like a champ.

I have heard numerous claims that using Tokico D-Spec adjustable shocks and struts improve ride comfort on a day to day basis and can be adjusted for good handling, but that also requires manually adjusting them from under your car, which is kind of a pain in the ***, woudlnt ya think?

Hope this helped some.

You dont have to get under the car to adjust the dspecs. front are adjustedunder the hood and rear are from the inside of the trunk.

+1 on Eibach, great kit. Personally the ride is the same with all the handling benefits.

i have heard this claim on every spring brand and type, including the ones i got... i dont know if im just sensitive or other peopel dont notice stuff, but i definatly notice a difference in ride quality which personally doesnt bother me because i like to go fast and turn fast and if that means harsher ride so be it

The Saleen suspension package costs the most so its probably the
best smoothest ride that money can buy. Dont know, dont have
it. I'll take the stock ride as acceptable for a $25,000 modern
muscle car.

Lowering really helps body roll on turns... most noticeable thing for me
