Ive decided to go with sportline springs Ive been going crazy over which springs to get, but finally decided I wanted eibachs. I know they could sag but ill take my chances because I love the way they look on my buddies stang. Now what shocks and struts should I go with??? Should I go with the eibach ones??? or the kyb adjustables??? I want a smooth refined ride, the cut springs are killing me I hate how they hit dips and bumps.

They do look good, in fact when I get my next alignment Im putting my sportline front springs back in because you cant beat that look. It will be smooth if you tighten up the chassis...Tokico HP's(for a lowered mustang) match the sportlines really well for a comfortable handling ride, They are stiff springs so you wanna run as soft of a shock as you can get away wiith to save ride quality.

I am running Tokico's with my Sportlines. If I had the $$$ I'd go Bilstien's!! H&R Super Sport springs lower almost the same as Sportlines. Or so it says on paper. And I havent heard of them sagging. Can get 'em at Maximum Motorsports.

I agree, unless you want a wheelie stang, get another brand for now.

eibach sag go with h&r or steeda. H&R will get a lower drop than steeda.

as far as shocks and struts go go with tokico d specs or bilsteins

Dont have the adjustables. Rides OK, just avoid big potholes. You WILL NEED caster/camber plates. And might as well replace rear lower control arms while you have it all apart.

Well they are progressive. I would want to know what the spring rates are. All it says is lowering but maintaning OEM feel. Doesnt say anything about being designed to help handling. But if you just want lower than these will work.

go with the tokico either 5-way adjustables or the D-spec i have the 5-way on my fox body and that thing rides smooth
