used Steeda sports springs?

Don't know about comparisons, but I have Steeda Competition springs and love them. May be too stiff for some, but mine is not a daily driver and changing lanes like a go-kart is COOL! I'm talking NO noticeable body roll- as attested by a buddy in his '03 Cobra behind me.
The drop is optimum for Fox body- you can slam them so low tire fitment and steering are compromised, but Steeda did a good job with theirs. Looks badass when it's closer to the ground than stock. You will need polyurethane upper and lower spring insulators- some have gone without but it increases NVH. For a good installation tech article do a search for MFE's treatise on the subject-much safer than traditional installation and worked great for me.

I have installed both Tokico & Steeda springs on my two cars & have to say I prefer the Steeda's over the Tokico's. I fully agree with 87TTopGT's description of the go-gart like handling & have to say that's what I like best about them. The ride is stiff but who cares, if I wanted plush I'd get a Cadi!
Far as what you need for the install, you should consider replacing your shocks & struts while you have everything disasembled.( not necesary though ) Also, dont forget new isolator's. I run them only on the top, but that's just me... Gives it more of an agressive stance. And that's also what the guy over at Steeda recomended when I bought the springs.
