Suspension Question???

So I have a set of Steeda springs on right now but I am unsatisfied w/ the lack of drop I got w/ them so I am wondering what would be the best co. to go with if I want something a bit lower than the Steeda's???

I know this sounds ridiculous and I knew somebody would end up asking me but they were a gift and they had them installed w/ out me know so I'm not exactly sure??? I want to say they are the sport springs; Those are the ones w/ the smaller drop, right???
Is there a place on the spring where they might say?

I think the sports and the ultralite's have the same drop. Sam Strano would know for sure.

According to a mustang site it shows a difference b/t the drop the two make... Man so FRPP / Eibach is a 1.5" drop?

Eibach makes 2 versions, the first is the Pro-Kit, which FRPP re-brands as their own. These are 1.5" drop front and rear.

The second set that Eibach makes is the Sportline set. FRPP does not sell these. I believe they are 2.0"+ drop.

No real noise issues with the springs.

I just hope its all good advice. I can only tell you what I've done. It would be better if I had several different setups to compare and contrast.


I am definitely happy with my setup though. More than happy. Proud really.

If you go with coilovers you can put the car to an exact height.
