Im about to buy some tomorrow, and since i havent bought any sets of springs recently, im kinda out of the loop as far as who has them at a good price.

Thanks in advance for any help

If it happens to be in an auction link, you can PM it to me as to not get the thread closed for sales.


EDIT: crap... can someone change the title to read " EIBACH PRO KIT SPRINGS" instead of the sportlines please..

Well, to be totally honest I didnt see any difference in them in corralation with my ET in the 1/4. You mite just wanna get a pair of 4 banger springs up front then get some Strange 10 way adjustable shocks & struts! It would be alot cheaper.

Mine are 2 years old so Im kinda out of the loop to about prices.

Pro Kit/Sportlines are going to be more for handling....not for drag racing. You wanna look into their drag springs if you want to improve your ET.

I'm actually about to cut a little off my back coils because after 3 years it's still got a raked stance to it and i hoped it would've leveled out by now.

Well my deal is that i had the motor out of the car for so long, that the springs are now un - sprung. with the motor in it, it sits like an inch higer than stock.

If i went with the 4 cyl springs, do you think that would clear my 18x8 wheels ?

Do you have any side shots of your car with the pro kit on it?

I think some clarification should be made on whether you want the lowering pro kit or the drag kit.

4 banger springs suck, unless of course you like feeling like your car could fly off the road on any turn.
And i speak from experience, i tried them.

I want a minimum amount of rake to the car, and i planned on buying adjustable struts later on. Ill be street driving it and id rather not have to fight with it to go around corners if possible. If the drag kit lowers the car about the same, and gives a better launch, ill go with those, but if they dont lower it at all, i think ill go with the lowering pro kit.

FBD,
Here is my car with pro kit and 18X9's. No rubbing issues. Also, your springs that are in there will settle again. My fromt control arms bind horribly when jacked up and then first bump I hit they drop right back down where they were.

http://forums.stangnet.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=49359&d=1173296962

Pic is with the 4 old tires and wheels in the back hatch.......

I think I picked my pro kit stuff up on ebay new for about 170 clams.

Petey,
The sportlines drop your car more than the pro kit. I think the pro kit dropped my car about 1.25" front and rear.

I just recently paid $259 for the pro kit with urethane isolators from CJ Pony parts. Not too bad of a price imo

From what ive read, the sportlines are a standard rate, and the pro kit is a progressive rate. sportlines drop your car lower than the pro kit

Sportlines are more of a race spring and the pro kit is more for a street car. The sportlines are going to pretty much slam your car....which isn't necessarily what you want for drag racing.
