So, how does everyone feel about Eibach Springs? I have a 1993 4 cyl. coupe and I think I have found a really good deal on a set of four (2 front and 2 rear of course? that are supposed to lower the car between 1-1.5 inches. Are they any good? Smooth ride or rough? Worth it for a good price?

Thanks for any input you can provide,
Mark

I like my Pro-Kit. Ride is stiffer than stock, but still good.

Yeah, I don't mind a bit stiffer, just as long as I don't end up feeling like I am driving a tank ya know?
Thanks for the reply,
Mark

Ok, found THESE on Ebay as well. Is 2 inches too much of a drop and what do you all think otherwise?

Or would these give me the desired lowering?

well the aerospeed ones would be a huge waist of money and time.
the other OEM ones you posted are the stock ones off a gt, so since the 4cyl mustangs are a bit lighter, it would make it ride higher if anything. from what i hear the only two good set of springs are the FMS "c" springs, or the eibach pro-kit(for the 4cyl). if you go any lower than 1.5" or 1.75", i was told you mess up the geometry off your ride. i know bbk makes a lowering spring for the 5.0's but i have never heard any info on them. i have been researching for the last week on lowering my car, and what i have found is the pro-kit is my best bet. the FMS spring are good also, but they wont lower it as much as the eibach's.

Thanks Wannabe. Got the Eibachs for a fairly good price I think ($158 shipped) so just needs me some new struts (time to replace anyway) and I should be set.

Thanks everyone,
Mark

I've been looking on ebay everyday for the past week. did you buy the pro-kit for the 5.0's maybe? the last 4cyl set i remember seeing on ebay was going for over $190 shipped. (as i stated in the above post.)

Ash...$25 for an, already broke in, set! I can cant even chop my stock springs for that.
