Here's my car with a set of freshly installed Eibach Prokit springs last summer. It has probably settled another half inch since.

I also have the Eibach Pro's on my '87, love the stance over stock and the handling is much better to. I also installed a set of offset rack bushings to compensate for bump steer that also occures with a lowered car.

If you like the raked look, you can get that woth ford racing C and B springs. I'd recommend the B springs as they are progressive rate up front.

Here's my car woth C springs. I hated how low the front was though, and later put in Mach 1 springs instead.
