Lowering will generally hurt 1/4 mile times. Is that what you mean by track or road circuit? Some guys have done amazing times with stock springs. Also do you have a convertible or a coupe? H&Rs look great on Coupes but dropped the front of my car WAY too low (HUGE drop - my tires rubbed right through the inside of the fenders, and I grounded out EVERYWHERE). I now have Roush fronts - picking up the car tomorrow...

Your other options are Eibach, or Steeda (for a very mild drop). There have been some nice results with some of Fords springs too.

FRPP makes a kit that includes shocks, springs, sway bar. All tuned and matched specifically for your car and all for about $369.

I love the KYBs and lots of other guys on the board are happy. They are very cheap shocks/struts. 4 way adjustable fronts ( i bought the older model stangs because they are 1" shorter) and 8 way rears. I think I paid 350 for all four. The rears are great because they adjust via a dial on the side, you dont have to go through the trunk.
