I'm always getting told that my car looks like a 4x4, so I figured it's time to lower it. I was told that I could get the Eibach Sportlines, which will lower it about 2in, which is kinda how far down I want to go.

Two Questions:

1. What is the difference between a Convertible spring and a Coupe spring?
2. Where is the best place online to order the Eibach Sportlines (if they really are compatible with my car)?

I have a 1998 Mustang GT Convertible 5 Speed Manual, just for reference.

Thanks guys (and gals)! :SNSign:

If I put Coupe springs on a Convertible, will it lower it more than it would have lowered the Coupe?

you still want to risk gettin sportlines even with all the sag issues? im surprised you havent gotten 20000 responses yet saying bad idea. mine lowered the front maybe 2" then after some time the rear nearly 3"

another thing to consider is that a 2inch drop is drastic and you will be scraping on every speedbump and steep driveways. i'd recommend H&R super sports for close to the same drop.

Right now my front looks about 1" higher than the back...no clue why. It's annoying. I can fit my 4 fingers + my thumb in the space...the struts are only about 8 months old. When I do my springs, I would also like to do LCAs, UCAs, struts, shocks, and MM Full Length XL SFCs.

This will all be after tires (which I just ordered 2 days ago) and JLT cold air intake.

So you guys recommend the H&R Super Sports? Is this them: http://www.americanmuscle.com/h-r-sport-springs-96-04.html

That seems like a decent price, but of course 6% off will be nice!
