I know ur a thinkin' guy needs to read first and ask later. But im lazy and i've already read up a little, and i know theres some newer stuff out now.
Soo... 1995 GT needs to put SOME tire to the ground for stick

I would like suggestions on what springs i should run
-I don't want to go coil-overs yet, and i have brand new good shocks n' struts
-I'm thinkin i want to steer away from all out strip springs cuz its a daily driver.
-I will take it to the strip once every 3 months maybe... but i was leaning towards aggressive handling with decent ride if i can acheive that. Though, willin to give up ride if i can find the right springs.
-Heard talk about the Eibach pro kit not being soo good. ??

if i should include any more info, yell at call me stupid and ask for it.
But i'd really like ur valued oppinions... thanks guys!

I've got Eibach Progressive's, I like them, but really can't hook to well on street tires the last time I went to the 1/8th, but that was on balding khumos. Dropped my car a good amt, not to harsh of a ride or anything, and my car does handle well IMO., but there are a lot of other springs out there for you to choose.

Personal fan of H&R stuff. I never hear any complaints about H&R springs. You can read about them on Maximum Motorsports site. I had a set of Race springs for a while, and I loved them. Only thing that made me switch was a Bilstein coil over kit.

I still run the H&R Race springs with Bilstein shocks/struts and a bunch of other MM stuff. The springs are great, but at first were quite stiff. Once I replaced my front control arms with the 03 Cobra replacements, the ride was perfect and very comfortable. My old control arms were very worn out, so all my other suspension stuff never really shined big time till I got new ones.

H&R all the way. I don't plan on going coilover, so next for me is the MM panhard bar and torque arm setup. Check out MM's site for specs on lowering and spring rates. I'm lowered 1.2 to 1.3 inches all around and it is way better than stock, but not too low at all.

Im pretty happy with my Steeda springs, the price wasnt bad, they dropped me exactly 1 1/4 in which gave me the stance i wanted, and the ride is good too.

I really like my eibach sports. Any less of a drop and I think I would have been dissapointed. I don't have any of the clearance issues like some people tend to believe. Ive scraped only once, and it was on a huge speed bump.

Just get good c/c plates, especially with this low of a drop. My upr plates don't work too well.

EDIT: Also, I don't have ANY bumpsteer, which a lot of people say you get with this low of a drop. I don't have a bumpsteer kit or bigger balljoints, but I do have offset rack bushings.
