Springs for a daily driver
My '06 Mustang GT is a daily driver. The wheel gap is just too much for my liking.
I have the optional Ford 18" Bullitts (64W).
I would appreciate those who vote on the poll, but I would extremely appreciate it if someone could elaborate on why they chose what they chose.
I feel that anything over 1.5" drop (in the rear) will be too much with the 18" wheels.
Right now, the Steeda Sport and Eibach Pro-Kit springs are looking like the best choices, however the deal on the BMR's right now is tempting.
Also, I plan on putting either a body kit or just the CDC aggressive front chin spoiler on sometime, so again, the drop can't be too much.

Wow, the best choice isn't on there.
H&R.

Oops, sorry. I have the OE Sports. The drop is minimal - 1" in the front and 3/4" in the rear, which is one of the reasons I chose these for a daily driver.

I wish I could find some that drop it 3/4" in the front and 1" in the rear, that would be about what I want.

This is a great question that I have as well. I'm going to be buying Tokico adjustable struts on Monday and I'm looking for a set of springs as well. I only use the car on the weekends, but I still don't want anything too harsh. I'm not going to be going to any road tracks either. I've been looking at the pro-line and the steedas, but I'm just not sure about a brand new spring from BMR.

I see that the steeda sport springs and the eibach pro kit are the same price. Do they do the exact same thing to the car, like the ride quality and how much the car is dropped.
