I've been going back and forth for some time now about what springs to use on my car and finally decided on the Ford Racing "B" springs. All I can say is WOW! I'm very happy with the outcome. Not only does it sit a little lower but, the ride is actually BETTER IMO. Very surprising. It feels much more solid and controllable, yet not harsh at all. Like I said, VERY surprising indeed. So far, I can't see a down-side at all with the new setup.

Sweet glad you like them. It's nice to hear someone talking about springs by feel and performance rather than what drop it is and how it looks. Wait till you put some shocks/struts on there. Stocker are junk IMHO.

I'm VERY pleased with the outcome. The car "feels" much more solid, and tied-down. Even notice there's virtually no porpoising during shifting. She just feels better.

Got to love the B springs. My car actually settled just a little over an inch and I think its perfect. The ride quality is amazing, though I have Blistein shocks and struts also. Get some pics up.

Now you see, YOU'RE car actually dropped while MINE didn't appear to, at least in the front.
The car "looks" lower to me but when I took the tape measure to it, the rear is a half inch lower and the front is virtually unchanged. WTF????

I have B springs with tokico shock/struts and I'm very pleased with the ride and performance. Did you need CC plates? With a moderate drop I needed CC plates. Great choice - enjoy.

Only did the springs since the car only has 20K miles on it. No C/C plates needed. They got the alignment in just fine (another reason I'm wondering just how much it really dropped the car).
Here's a picture of it I took today (pardon the dirt).

Add a quality set of shocks to it and will really be impressed. Double the pleasure, double the fun...
