I may go with the Steeda ultra lites....they are $210 on their web site. Yeah going lower would be bad...to many speed bumps around here and crappy roads. My 91 has Eibach and I destroyed my X Pipe (Broke a cat) on a speed bump and I was going slow...it just hit everytime I went over it and I cant avoid the darn thing since its at the front gate of the community I live in....stupid bump.

Ride is just a tad harsher than stock. Honestly, if you were to ride in it and didn't know it was lowered, you probably can't tell the difference in ride quality from stock.

+1 I also have the Ultralites. i ordered them on accident instead of the sport springs. But I love these! It handles much better now!

H&R Springs here...

H&R springs drop it 1" in front and .75" in the rear. I didn't want much of a drop - mission accomplished.

I bought the BMR springs, I love them perfect balance of performance and comfort the rears are also hourglass shaped, just like the stock ones to prevent wheelhop. I bought the 1.5f/2.0r ones. They also have 1.25f/1.5r. Give them a call, they know their shi* when it comes to suspension.

I like the look of the Eiback but from the look of the chin spoiler I would not get over any of the local speed bumps without giving her an unscheduled face lift.

Well I just broke down and ordered the Steeda Ultra Lites springs....now the fun will be installing them this weekend....do I need anything other then the springs (and an alignment)....like spring isolators or can I reuse the stock (4,000 miles on them so they should/better be in good shape).

Are you happy with the ride quality so far?
Also do you experience any kind of noise on either front or rear springs?
I currently have Steeda Sport Springs and am very unhappy with them.
One of the rear springs is sagging, I have the driver side endlink loose
again after Steeda resolved the issue (yeah right) three times already.
I feel like am driving a 1965 Mustang with all the front end noise and
jiggles - front end feels like its going to fall apart.

First of all, sorry for the troubles you're having with your springs - that sounds crazy. I'll be honest - I couldn't be happier with these springs so far. No noises, but I didn't have any noises with the factory springs like some have reported. The ride quality is about what you would expect, and I suspect the 19" tires/wheels are the major contributors. It's completely acceptable though, and it's very crisp and responsive in the twisties. I'm still running the factory shocks and struts, but I plan on adding Bilsteins at some point. This is my first set of H&R springs, and I'm very impressed. I don't think I would be as happy with H&R's other springs that drop the car more, and I was looking at the Steeda and Roush springs for the same reason before I purchased. Good luck with your car - I hope they make it right for you no matter what that involves.

But did you have to replace the pan hard when you put in the Eibach Pro kit?

No, didnt see a need to replace it with an adjustable one. I have heard people say that you need to but the rear end did not shift one way or the other and the car has been through many hard launches since the install.
