Ultralights here also.I've run the FRPP Handling pack on an 06'GT that I had,its a very firm ride and handled great but my Steeda springs have a great drop and handling is not as firm but very stable.If you run any type of lowering spring get the bigger FRPP sway bars,they really make a big difference as well.Especially on your lateral roll-out when making a hard turn.
the spring rate on the Steeda Sports and Ultralights are different.The sports are very close to the O.E.M. springs and the Ultralights are more for your corner carving.They have the same drop at 1" up front and 1 1/4" in the rear.

Steeda Ultra Lites here as well. I love them. Nice drop Not so low you have to worry about avery bump in the road and curbs/speed bumps. Very nice ride quality which was important for me. Some of the guys in our local Mustang Club use the Eibach Pro's and they like them. I have ridden in their cars and I must say it is lower but the ride is more harsh. I have a daily driver so the ride was more important to me.

+1 for ultralites!
But the BMR stuff looks really good too.
Just figure for mild drops (about 1.25-1.5") you can keep the stock shocks-not the greatest, but doesn't get out of the dampers' range of travel. Going lower you really should have aftermarket shocks/struts.

The lowest drop is the Eibach Sportlines but they bottom out easy in the rear. I switched out to the Steeda Ultra lites and they work great. Not to harsh on the street and great on the road coarse.
I recommend the Steeda's.

Mentioning the shocks is a good thing.If your on a budget you can lower your ride on the stock shocks and save up for some Tokicos or some other hi performance shock.

I've got the ultralites because I didn't want to worry about the car sitting to low and bottoming out or scraping my chin spoiler. But I think the Eibachs make the car look better. IMO neither is better it's just a matter of how much driveablity/comfort your willing to sacrifice.
