What Springs Should I Get? X-MAS!

So, I have a few extra bucks after Christmas and I am looking drop the car down a little bit. I have been thinkin of Eibach Pros or Sportlines. Anyone else have any recommendations and why I should buy any different springs?
Thanks all and Happy Holidays!!!

I just ordered some BMR springs. 1.25" in front and 1.75" in back.

You can't go wrong with any major brand really.

Springs should lower your center of gravity and improve handling slighty. However, I would think about investing in some LCA's, PH bar, etc.

I have the eibach prokit and the drop is nice. If you get springs I would definently get some shocks and struts because the ride quality will suffer with just the springs...

Has anyone heard of any reviews on the Eibach Drag Springs? You know, the red springs with the blue air bag?

I have the FRRP Springs and the drop is nice and i've been fortunate not to get any NVH as a result from putting them in. Like the dreaded popping noise. I got mine from a Ford Racing Dealer in Minnesota at a really good price but it's been so long i can't remember the exact price.

I have the Eibach sportlines. The diff between the pro and sportlines is that the sport drops it a lil bit more. It looks great, but I am also getting Tokico shocks/struts next month to make the ride better. Its a bit stiff with just the drop.

I have the Steeda Ultra-Lites -- My choice was more ride biased. Less drop than Eibach or FRPP and some of the others -- but it looks good and with the other suspension mods rides as good as or better than stock. Have fun.

I'll be different and suggest only lowering the rear...... you can pickup a set of Roush rear springs for around $150. I actually use Steeda Sport springs, rear only:

I may have found some FRPP's front and back for around 160 from a dealer in MN, if I can get them at that price I will!

Although the rear with the back two roush springs looks really great, evens the car right out. Did you notice an increase in handling with putting in just the rears?

Get them...Eibach makes the springs for Ford. That kit is the same as the Pro-kit.
