Tonight after 2 years of having my car I'm going to order springs and shocks (I know is about time). I'm getting FRPP B springs and Blisten shocks.

People say that the B's are better for drag racing seeing as they are progressive rate.
The problem with "b" springs is the car still looks like its on stilts. I wanted to go with them too but after alot of help on here and talking to the places that sell them (5.0 Resto, Texas Mustangs, Dallas Mustangs) it seems the best combo with Bilstiens is the MM progressive rates. They will drop just a hair over an inch and are built to go with Bilstiens. Personally though I am gonna go with the Eibach Pro Kit with the springs and shocks/struts. Just my taste.

b-springs are still quality tho. I love my c-springs. Perfect amount of drop for how crazy the speed bumps are around here. Quite stiff too, which i love
I have heard nothing but good things about the C and B springs. I know they don't drop the car a lot but I'm not looking for a slammed look. I think the B's with blistien's will be perfect for what I want (good all around performance).
Whats the best place to get bilstein's? Which ones do I get. I see that MM has a few different kinds. I was looking at the 1994-04, BE5-6418-H0 they are $107.95 each.

Those are for the rear. Are you only replacing the rear shocks? You need struts for the front as well if you're doing front and back, V36-4138-H3 (Front HD Struts).
B and C springs are good quality parts but IMO the car still looks too tall. Thats why there are sooo many different drops for our cars. The cheepest I found Bilstiens for is $609 shipped on ebay. The second cheepest place was $620 at Late Model Restoration.
Just placed the order. I'm getting the Blisteins from AmericanMuscle for $599 and the B springs from Mustang Unlimited for $134. I also ordered the K&N FIPK Gen II kit from Mustangs Unlimited seeing as my stock intake has seen better days. It will be a fun few weeks putting all this on (my girlfriend is going to kill me when she finds out I bought all this stuff). That’s it; I’m done with mods for this year (time to start paying off the credit card). Next year will be black bullit rims, tires and going wingless the real way (getting the holes filled and trunk painted).
