Default V6 Lowering Spring Comparisons?

Hey everybody! I'm pretty new here, and was wondering what my options are for lowering springs on a V6? Is there a way you guys could post pics of your lowered V6, with what brand you used, the amount of drop, and the wheel and tire size in the picture?

(Sorry if this is alot to ask, if not, no biggie, just curious to see the differences)

Thanks in advance (Unless no one responds)

I have just the Roush rear springs - not sure on the amount of drop because I forgot to measure for a before comparison. I know it is lower because when I was putting the drag radials on this weekend I had to get on my hands and knees to see where to put the jack. I am on the stock 235-55x17 Pirelli tires

Before:



After:


I didn't lower the front because I just wanted to take some of the rake out and level the stance.

I don't have before and after pics, just my signature. I'm on the Eibach Pro-Kit springs with 255/45/18's all the way around. I would just like to mention that Eibach suggest that the Pro-Kit lowers the front about 1.3" and the rear 1.4". Well I measured it and it lowered mine about 1.6-7" all the way around. I have no shocks or struts btw

Look at my signature and click the link to get details. But in short, FRPP V6 N Springs - 1.5" drop.

Thanks guys! This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for.

N Springs $225

The ride quality was more stiff, but not uncomfortable. After I put my Tokico d-specs on, it got even more stiff, but the performance outweighs the stiffness. It still isn't bad, I think it is just fine.
