Need to swap out both front control arms due to bad bushings. I do NOT want to deal with trying to get a stock spring back in so going to go to lowering springs.
Shocks/Struts will be Bilstiens.
Looking online, I kinda like the Eibach Pro-kit and the Ford Racing G spring, at least on paper.
Pro Kit (convertible)
460-570 front
170-310 rear
Advertised drop: 1.3" front/1.4" rear
FMS M-5300G
500-570 front
170-310 rear
Advertised drop: 1.2"
The G springs are cheaper, but very little feedback on these at all. I am more attracted to them because the (advertised) drop isn't as much. This is a semi-daily driver so looking for ride comfort and practicality. The spring rates are pretty similar so not sure it's worth nitpicking over that.
Does anyone have either spring and want to offer some feedback?
EDIT: Well after some googling, it looks like the Ford Racing G spring is made by Eibach. Likely the same springs. They are cheaper however. ($290 at summit vs $350 for the eibach). Looking at pics of them they even say Eibach on them
