Help choose!!

Ok so I am pulling the trigger on new suspension parts. Going to be purchasing new shocks, springs, and sway bars. The problem is I can't decide on either Eibach products or Steeda. I would like your opinion and experience and which makes the better product for my stang. Thanks!

I think the general consensus is steeda is one of the best out there for suspension upgrades. They have options for every style of driving. For me person I will be upgrading my suspension in the spring, and I'm not even considering eibach or ford racing. It's between steeda and roush. That's what I would suggest. Both are proven over the years and have loyal followers.

Good point about both being proven.

Can not speak to Eibach products but the Steeda suspension components in my car have performed well. See my "garage" for a list of the Steeda suspension pieces in my car.

yeah basically.

but remember just because they are made at the same place doesnt mean they are the same. the specs on the two are probably different. they build them to spec.

I had steeda's Ultra lites on my 96 cobra they were great

had pro kit on my 87 GT and they were good too.

Unfortunately, that's not correct.

OP, please let me know if I can setup a suspension package for your purposes. As you can see from a few responses from this thread, we make great parts and I'm sure you will be satisfied with them.

Yes, Brandon can help!

Just pm him or send him an email at Brandon at Steeda .com. He will provide a package and pricing for what your needs/goals are.

Best Regards,

While it depends on specifically which springs, I can generally say that that is no longer correct.

They are manufactured by a different company in the U.S.
