Lowering Questions...

I was just wondering if any of you guys had a reccomendation on what springs I should go with, I was thinking about an Eibach pro-kit. Will I need to buy anything else to keep the geometry correct?
Thanks in advance.

These springs combined with the MM poly iso's produce a significant drop, without being "slammed". Seems to be the most popular choice, esp over at svtperf. Lotsa pics over there.....

Also, many cut their stock springs and report excellent results. Anywhere from 1/2 to 1 full coil, depending on how low you want to go. If I had it to do over again, would seriously consider this. Dont get me wrong, I love my H&R's. But, coulda saved roughly $500 to put towards other mods, if I had cut my stockers.......

Re: Lowering Questions...

I also like the H&R springs. Installed a set on a 04" MACH and like the ride and the stance

Oh, and I highly recommend the MM caster/camber plates also, very nice pieces.

Re: Lowering Questions...

I like the Kenny Brown springs. They keep good ride quality on the live axle cars

Also heard great things about these springs, too! From what I've been told are a bit more expensive than others, but those that have them seem to really be impressed...

Re: Lowering Questions...

I have the front and rear springs off of an 03 Cobra for sale, you could just cut a coil off of these.

Otherwise, H&R SuperSports with MM isos in the front and stock isos in the rear.

yeah they are a good but more than all the others but we were pleased with them on my wife's 01 cobra and Brian & Wall did some on a 98 GT last month. The customer told me the other day that he was also very pleased.

I know a lot of people like the H&R's as well
