Looking for replacement Springs that are not going to plummet my 91 GT to the weeds. Want to have a minimal drop with smoothest ride. Rest of suspension is geared for cruising and not necessarily launching hard.

Ideers?

Mach 1 and Bullitts are an option as well.
Steeda does (or did - not sure if they still do) make a progressive with not too much drop.

Buy the Eibach Pro-kit and don't look back. It provides a nice stance with minimal drop and a firmer but comfortable ride.

I don't know how anybody could consider the Pro-kit a "minimal drop", since they're the same as FRPP B's, and they provide a noticeable drop, especially in the front.

My suggestion is to not play spring-selection roulette hoping to get exactly the right ride height, with a guaranteed 90% failure rate since everyone's idea of "just right" is different. Put a set of coilovers on the front with a mild rate, say under 225 lbs/inch, and a set of adjustable-height LCA's in the back with stock springs. You'll be able to fine-tune your ride height to your heart's content, and if you ever do need to change the front springs, it takes about 30 minutes and no prayer sessions.
