Eibach Sportlines 2"front 1.8"rear drop. Some people remove the isolators and that lowers it about 1/4 to 1/2 more without rubbing tires...they do scape the road though. If your going to get headers you may want a little less of a drop. Here are some pics I took today.

I know I am a newbie, so this might be a dumb question...I am looking to drop my Mustang. What are isolators? Thanks for the newbie help.

Isolators are rubber rings on the top of your springs, and the fronts have a rubber coil around the bottom. They cut doun in spring noise and squeeks, you can remove one and get a 1/4" drop, or both for a 1/2" drop. One is OK and quiet, I have not removed both, so I don't know if they would squeek or not.

Here are some pictures of mine with Steeda Sport Springs with one isolator removed from the front, for 1.25" drop in rear and 1.50" drop in front. No rubbing with 315/35/17's on a 17X10.5 rear wheel. (front wheels are 17X9's with stock tires)
