2in drop with 18's will probably be pretty close to dragging ur tire on the wheelwell when turning, going with the eibach springs and just going 1.5 with 18's should set you pretty beefy with your stance...

I wouldn't recommend a 2" drop for a street-driven vehicle. 1.5" is already pushing it for the Mustang's suspension geometry. You're going to have a bouncier ride unless you upgrade the shocks, and your suspension will bottom out on rough roads.

Running 18s won't decrease sidewall clearance, as long as you run a lower profile tire to compensate.

Have you looked at the prices of 18" tires, by the way? The selection is about a tenth that of 17 inchers, and they cost twice as much.

You want the color of the springs to match your car?


Anyway, Eibachs will be better. And, don't forget. It wouldn't hurt to upgrade your shocks/struts, and get an alignment.

Agree. Eibachs or steeda are the way to go. Eibachs with some BBK off-set rack bushings, BBK heavy duty end links, FRPP bump steer kit and spring isolators would really put a noticible difference in your car. Big time.
