I went with the ford racing C springs and lovem. Didn't really drop the car much rides a little stiffer but not uncomfortably. Unfortunately I never heard of caster camber plates until the other day when someone said they did springs without them and it ate up their tires fairly well. So I'll be looking into those here soon.

Another Teutonic vote. I was torn between H&R and Eibach for which I liked best for the 94. I went Eibach (coin toss. H&R's rock, as Almost Stock noted) and really like 'em.


Close to Shaker's choice, I have Mach 1's on the fox vert and they're decent (I feel they would be better on a coupe - I'm not using them as they really were intended). Were I doing it again, I'd use H&R's or Eibachs on the vert.

Though against the grain sometimes, I've always been a fan of progressive rate springs.

Good luck with the decision.

H&R Super Sports. You should really think about upgrading your struts and shocks at the same time.

i went with the ford racing b springs and i love em. they dont slam the car on the ground so i dont have any rubbing issues but it gives the car a nice drop thats noticeable. the ride quality gotr better compared to the stockers but they were wore out so go figure. but they are some really nice springs

Lowering springs? Get highering springs. Those are sexy. Look at that gap!

No but Eibach's are good. Although they are a little soft. If i were doing it again i'd go H&R. But now i'm doing MM Coil-overs so.

I have used Eibach and H&R and have had great luck with both.
