I have the equivalent to the pro kit on my car right now(saleen springs). It used to look fine. But i just did a rear seat delete and dont keep the spare tire or tools in the back, and after that the back end has seemed to pop up back to the 4x4 look. I didnt think dropping that weight would make that much of a difference but it has. Plus i saw a ton of mustangs at the track friday that were dropped SO perfectly, more than mine in front and back, and it looked a TON better than mine. I was looking at the HR supersports but they say to only do about 1.6 inches. Thats pretty close to what it have right now anyway. The only spring that i have found to lower it the most is the Eibach sportlines. Has anybody installed them and had them on for a long time without the dreaded sag? Not everybodies sportlines can sag, can they?

yes they are.

H&R supersports are the best alternative to the right drop height

Exactly, they will tend to sag also and you don't want to deal with that in the future.

Yeah, i guess i really dont want to deal with replacing the springs again in the future. Does anybody have any pics of H&R supersports with saleen wheels? I want to see what the drop will look like on my car, to make sure its worth doing and noticable over my springs right now. Thanks.

Thanks for the pics seraphita, your car looks AWESOME!

But now i'm more confused on what to do. I love the look of the H&R supersports, its sits PERFECT. But i just read your other post about changing to eibach pro kit because of scraping the front fascia. Well, i have a Saleen also. I scape now as it is on a lot of things and cringe and only have a 1.5 inch drop. But i hate the look of the backend with the weight drop. Man, i dont know what to do, either go with supersports and deal with the scraping or leave it as is.

Can't you just get H&R Super Sports rear springs and leave your front the way it is? I'm not sure if that's possible and it could be just a weird thought.

I dont know if you can just get the rear set without the fronts. The few places i checked only sell them as a full set. It would be cool though if i could.

Post up a picture of what it looks like now with the weight removal. I'd like to see how bad it got.

Well, I figured out a solution to my problem. Not the cheapest solution but definately worth it. I am going to go with the maximum motorsport adjustable drag racing LCA's. They have adjustable ride height (can lower rear 1 inch, or even raise up to 2 inches for slicks) which should take care of the look problem, PLUS i will hook up like a MOFO at the track. So that takes care of two problems in one shot.
