Hey guys,

Looking to lower the snake a little and was wondering who makes the best springs for the money? I'm looking at Steeda, Eibach, or Hawk. Also what "Rate" is best for general street/track use?

Thanks Bob

springs

From what I know HR Sport springs have never had a single person complain about them. They look GREAT too. I've also heard very little complaints about Kenny Brown springs as well. I would go with Steeda as the third choice. Good luck.

EDIT: This is what I knowof on 99+ Mustangs not the SN95 style. Sorry!

Click on the "Reviews" tab at the top of the page. Look under "Suspension" and you can check out people's reviews of different springs.

I got Steeda Sports - nice drop of about an inch and definately can corner better. That's with the stock shocks and struts.

IMO H&R are the best. For good handeling, I would recommend staying away from progessive rate springs (eibach pro-kit), although the progressive rate spring do have a more cushy ride than the specifix/fixed rates.

Whatever springs you get, you can get adjustable dampners to compliment them at the strip. Basically you stiffen the dampners to your desire for the street, and then at the strip, you make the back real soft for good weight transfer for the launch.

I've used Eibach & H&R & have been happiest with the H&R's.
