ford springs for a good replacement for daily driver. you may need shorter end-links if it lowers it too low.

Those got boring real fast. I had these springs.. not low enough so I took the isos out. Picked up some sportlines with isos, not low enough so I just finished taking the isos out. Go low once, youll be happy with yourself.

springs are easy enough to swap out... i suggest ford since they are his first set and he hasnt clearified his future use.

They are.... but being in there ten times gets redundant and dreadful to do.. imo.

How do you use your mustang? How low do you want to lower your mustang?
What condition is your shocks and struts in? Do they need replacing?
I always liked the Eibach Pro Kit springs.The drop is about 1.4-1.5" all around from what I have seen.
I'd get an alignment after you install your springs to make sure your car
is aligned properly.

The Eibach Pro Kit springs are what I am considering to lower my car.
They should be ideal for you if you just want that lowered look.
I think they give the perfect stance in my opnion not no low not too high.
Handling should greatly improve though.

ford springs + isos.

matching shocks + struts.

lowe sway bar end links if required.

/ thread. :)

B springs

c springs

f springs
http://www.jegs.com/i/Ford+Racing/397/M-5300-F/10002/-1

(pick your own matching shocks/struts based on personal preference. I suggest Bilstien (sp?) and tokico (sp?) from my personal experience. Monroe (sp?) also make a quality product.

isos, you may need two kits. 1 for front, 1 for back... i dont remember exactly...
http://www.jegs.com/i/Prothane/311/6-1701/10002/-1

end links. i forget what length you need when you lower the car past 1.5"... someone else can help you out on that
http://www.jegs.com/i/Prothane/311/19-416/10002/-1


if you desire any other bushings, i have a few for sale in the classified section under "90% of PI swap + other parts"

i have front control arms, rear control arms, strut tower. all prothane bushings.

Yep, Chris everyone I know how had the Eibach Pro Kit springs was very happy with them.
The Eibach Sportline springs have a tendency over the years to sag in the rear and they
are the only Eibach springs that people have had any issues with.
I'd also consider doing shocks and struts at the same time you do your springs.
These are the springs I want to purchase.

If i were to do it again i'd go with some FRPP C springs on a Daily Driver. I went with Steeda Sport Superlites and its sits perfect and rides great on nice fresh paved roads and highways BUT on any kind of bumps or imperfections i scrape and scratch because its too low.

I hear Michigan roads are as bad as NJ roads so you might not want to go too low.
