After a bunch of looking around I have come to the conclusion that only two companies make lowering springs for the 2.3 mustang. Racer Walsh and Eibach. I have read the reviews on the Eibach, but nothing on RW. Has anyone here had the opertunity to install the RW springs and if you did how did they respond as well how are their longevity? Any feed back will be greatly appreciated. undefinedundefined

Are you sure the springs racer walsh lists aren't Ford Motorsport springs? That's all they had in the catalog I have. The Motorsport springs are made for a V8 and would probably barely lower a 2.3L at all, since they are supposed to lower a Fox V8 by less than an inch (although I've heard some weird extremes with those springs)

Okay the springs are made by MAC. I should have taken a closer look at the catalogue. The part number is 20798. They are for the V6/I4. They promote a 1.5-2 drop. I would like to find some feed back on them and what they are worth. The eibach are about $50 more in overall price but, I don’t like what I am hearing after reading the reviews.

MAC springs? Dunno. However, 2" is a bit much for a drop. Also can't say how good mac springs really are (the quality of a lot of their stuff is somewhat questionable).

I understand Urethane spring insulators will raise the car 1/2" because they don't crush down like rubber. Food for thought.

The lowering height of the car is not my main concern. The damn thing handles like a boat and waddles like a cow. My stock springs are compressed and I am looking at aftermarket sport springs for about the same price as new OEM springs. I have added sway bars and they help a ton but it is now time for the struts/shocks to be replaced all urethane all the way around and springs. I guess I will try to find answers elsewhere.

just spend the extra money on the eibach springs, there just about the best you can get
