Man I feel like such a n00b for posting this. I did a search and honestly could not find a thread that satisfied my needs, lol.

So yeah, which springs would give my car the best looking drop. H&R, Eibach, too many choices.

My car is a 4x4 someone help me.

So which one gives the car an even rake so it does't look like somebody jacked the rear?

Thanks for the help guys. H&R sport springs will definitely be my choice.

Other than Ebay, what would be a good site to buy a pair. Mustangtuning only has them for 96-04.

I don't think I have seen a pic yet of a matched set of springs that make the rear look jacked. In fact, it seems that the way Mustangs sit once lowered looks like they are squatting in the back compared to the front, not the other way around. (again on a matched set of springs - not coil overs or cut stock springs)

i hear nothing but good things about eibach springs. they would be my choice when i do my car.

if you car needs new shocks and struts, while you are doing lowering springs, would it be cost effective to do coil-overs?

My 95 with Eibach pro-kit 1 1/2" drop all around, but it looked to me like the front was higher and yes I know the tri-bars gotta go but Im savin up for a new set of 18's

View attachment 486001

Now with the sportlines but I have no isolators in the front and steeda x2 ball joints without the spacers and only one isolator in the rear. Dont know the total drop but it shoud be about 2 3/4" in the front and 2 1/4" in the rear, I like the raked look. Does anyone know what the measurement is stock from the ground to the top of the wheel well is so I can find out the total drop?

picture angles are a little differant

i actually also cut 1/2 a coil off of the front of my sportlines, cause i have had eibachs before and they always seem to be a tad higher in the front
