Quality wise I would say they are all very good springs. Ride wise the ultralites would probably give the best ride. They would probably be the ones with the least amount of drop also.

The problem is i am putting on the stalker kit and since i have 18" wheels i want to hide the wheel whell ... the guy in the link provided said he's using eiback drag springs but not good for handling and b4 that eiback sportlines which gave the same look! Since eiback ride is rough i'm trying to find a low but comfy 9enough) ride with my koni srt t's will the ford k ones work good?

FWIW. Sam Stano suggested Steeda Sports to run with my Koni shocks. I also wanted a good ride quality for my DDer.

Maybe i should 've mentioned that the springs will go with Koni STR T's
I understand that Steedas may be the best match but i wanna go lower so the car will look nice with the bkit! Will Ford racing K's or Eibacks do the job with out totally messing up the quality of the ride?
Or a better question would be since the STR T's are not adjustable how low can they go (without breaking)?
Also if i am to sacrifice the ride which would give me the best handling?

This guy is selling his. At the rate of 15 bumps in ten days, I'm guessing you could get them for $5 bucks after another week.

I had no complains when I had my tokico adj and eibach pro. Ride was fine, the car became predictible and felt like it could push around corners without losing the rear.

Ok so with my Koni STR T's will the eibachs work well or will the non adjustable Koni's give out?
Is there anybody using this set up eibach pro kit with koni str t's?
On the Koni STR T item description it says that theywork well with lowering springs but how low they don't say!

You could also go with less drop and a slightly taller tire, gives the illusion of being lower. And no sacrifices for ride quality. This was my route, installing the d spec soon, since the koni adjustables are so backordered it would be xmas when I would get set.

I am actually going with a higher tire when replacing the ones i got now... but isn't that going to minimize the handling gains since it will keep the car laying high?... will see!

The taller tire might roll more laterally but your car chassis will still be a lower center of gravity. It will come down to how well the springs and dampers match up. So you may end up with better overall by getting a less aggressive drop spring that matches your shocks while still getting the look you want with a bulkier tire. Keep in mind that the speedometer can be thrown off by improper plus sizing from the tire's overall diameter.
