H&R Supersports for sure. Either those or Eibach Sportlines. I perfer the stance of the H&R and everyone seems to love them.

ZimStang on here actually has them:

depends on how low you want to go and what your budget is... check out www.mustangtuning.com, www.stangsuspension.com and there's others.

here's a good site with suspension tech stuff that might help you decide (its a 6er site but has some great info):

I sunno man I wouls seriously look into Ford Springs. C's specifically. Theyre pretty cheap, 140 I have found them for. And they llower your car .8 front, 1.4 in rear. Many people I know have gotten them and just cut a half to full coil off the front and were very happy with it once it settled.

Imho Eibachs are overpriced. H&R's are nice but again pretty pricey.

DAMN! Well I know thats what I will be going with. C springs are a good drop without sacrificing too much drivability. I live in a hilly area and don't need to lose my tailpipes or front bumper to a hill... ;D

more people seem to prefer the h&r springs so i might go with those.ill keep u updated if i do it.i got a suspension class in college and want to take advantage.

My choices are very limited, my 99 Cobra has the IRS, so Ford Motorsport Cobra springs are what Im going with.

STNG_96 · Feb 6, 2006

I got the eibach pro-kit, and have been very happy with them so far, 250 and parts, install, and alignment

I guess i'm the lone guy running Steeda Springs?
I have the Superlite Sports. About a 1.5 " drop all around. The ride quality is superb and handling is amazing.

Kiljosh · Feb 10, 2006

Steedas are pricey

Matt94GT · Feb 10, 2006

yea steeda makes nice stuff.

blackfang · Feb 11, 2006

I am going with H&R myself

95CALI-5.0 · Mar 19, 2006

H&R SUPERSPORTS Look at my Siggy to see the difference.

STNG_96 · Mar 20, 2006

Car looks good, kinda hard to see the difference with that black paint

Trust me its a Major difference. Glad i took everyones advice. Look at the big pic in my sig, you can see the wheel gap. Then look at the lowered side pics the drop is very noticeable.
