I need to get my car up in the air a bit and think the Stock Bullitt or Mach1 springs would do the trick.
My Steedas look great and ride even better but NJ roads hate lowered cars.

Any pics?

I'm considering C springs also...

I've got FRPP "C" springs.. They might suit you.. They're not entirely too low, although it is definitely lower than stock.
A lot of people say you don't need c/c plates with these, but I think my car actually needs a set of them, as my tires are wearing on the insides and my stock stuff is maxed.

I was under the impression that mach1/bullitt springs were the same drop and spring rate as the steeda springs, but I suppose they have multiple models.

The Mach drop .5 inch from stock
The Bullitt drop .75 from stock
Thats on 99-04 and supposedly they drop another .5 on 94-98's ???

My Steeda Springs dropped me atleast 2 inches.

Either of the springs will give you a good ride, and either of the springs are cheap. I'd say to go for Bullitts, just because they are a little bit lower. Keep that nice look of the car.

PS., if you have Jersey roads so much, you can always move to SoCal. We've got race tracks here too.

Edit: ok move it back.

You've always got me as Bullit spring poster boy. With no ISOs I'm two and a half fingers front and 3 fingers rear. Neva scrape and I've driven in Jersey plenty of times. I hate I-95 between the GWB and Lincoln tunnel BTW. Seriously though, I wish it were a finger or so less. My drop was ~1" in front and ~.75" in back.
For giggles, here are recent pics taken at the Sayville Ford show so you can get an up to date look and decide for yourself.

man, the Steeda springs I had said 1-1.25" drop. If my car had looked like yours I wouldn't have gotten rid of them.

GREAT looking car, LI.

Thanks, appreciate it. There were soooo many 05s+ at the show that day. To clarify: I have no ISOs in the front only and it dropped an addt'l ~.25" so a total of 1.25" in the front and again ~.75" for the rear.

Those would work, now if i could find a set at a decent price...

Another option is to try some new iso's and try and get 1/4 inch or so in the front for now.
I may just go for a Coil over setup.

I'm not sure which model # I have, but I am running steeda springs on my car now (previously was running H&R's with no iso's and it was waaaay too low and harsh for a DD).

the spring rate is pretty low and they react a lot slower than the H&R's did, with a lot more body roll, but I'm still the fastest mustang at every autox I've done with the car since I did the spring swap.

but what really matters is I don't bottom out all the time on the freeway or have to crawl over speed bumps anymore.

I've got Mach 1 springs. What kind of spring rates are you running with the Steedas? If you're interested in a trade, I'd be up for it. ;) Just a thought...

I had Bullitts on all four and now have coilovers in the front and Bullitts in the rear without ISOs. I have 1.5 fingers in the front and 3 in the rear since the tire is too thin 30s. Once I go with a 315 35 it will fill in the wheel well a bit more.
