Get the lowering springs. Definitely one of the best mods for you car. I'd recommend the Eibach Sportlines for am aggressive drop. The SR springs are decent on a budget.

They make the car look 100x better. The stock setup is ridiculous.

What about these? http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...s-Silver-05-14

Plus, I would need a pan hard bar too right?

I'd get the lowering springs. Then do the rest of the mods one at a time as the money becomes available.

You don't need the panhard bar its recommended. You can add it later when more cash frees up.

I haven't heard much feedback about the SVE springs. Lots of reviews about the SR springs. I have them on mine. They are decent. But I thinkthe eibachs are worth the extra cash . Had them on my old mustang. The SR didn't feel as sturdy.

I'm going the other way on this. Don't get the springs until you can at least match them with good shocks/struts. Performance and ride quality both suffer when you skip that step. I see way too many people saying they're disappointed in X springs or Y springs or Z springs that many others are happy with. The difference? Most of those disappointed in their ride quality didn't change the shocks/struts. Particularly the back of the car being underdamped as it is on Brembo cars, further upping the spring rate and lowering the car...

If $200-300 is your limit, either get your lights and enjoy them, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that as they really do suit your car beautifully, or save up for a better suspension setup. Or do what I'm doing and pickup a few pieces when you have a little extra disposable income.

I agree. I hate when people just do springs. Just makes me shake my head

Why only $200 budget?

I agree with Patrick. If you don't have the budget now, wait to do the suspension all at once.

The springs will make it look good. For the same amount of work and a few more pieces, it'll look AND perform good. Do it once, and do it right.

I just upgraded my springs and did the shocks & struts at the same time. I bought the SR Springs, panhard bar and the KONI Orange set. I bought the parts over the last few months and waited until I had them all to do at once. It's a night and day difference in handling plus it looks so much better! Good luck with your mods!
