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.

thanks for your input, its mostly a street car so keeping that in mind im not to worried about performance from the springs. want something to make it sit nicely and keep some street manners how about shocks anyone have any favorites?

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.
