Lowering Springs

what companies have you guys n gals been choosing for lowering springs for your 2011's....

I'm currently in the market and want at least a 1.5 inch drop. So far i have seen Eibach, but I'm having problems trying to find other brands that make for the 2011's yet...

So if any of you know of some websites, links would be great so i can shop around more,

P.S. if you link a set you choose let me know how you like them and like the drop you chose

thanks

Eibach is great choice but go with the "pro's" not the "sportlines". sportlines ride a little rough..also take it from me, get the eibach sway bay kit to got with it , and an adjustable panhard bar to boot. you will be set...

Don't know who makes them for Ford but quite a few people have them on their cars.

Is it a bad idea to use lowering springs with the stock shocks?

I used the K springs with stock struts and shocks. It's not as bad as I thought it would be. On some bumps, it seems like the rear hits the bump stops.

But, I rarely drive my car, so it will probably stay on stock struts/shocks for awhile ..hah

not a bad idea its just better to use after market shocks. i replaced my rear shocks with QA1 -12 way adjustable shocks, they allow me to dial in the rear under varying conditions...i kept my stock front struts, they work well...

Just be careful guys with the adjustable shocks especially in the rear. If you are not autocrossing or tracking the car, and I get the impression most of you are not and just want a nice handling DD, you won't know how they will react in a violent evasive emergency move. Generally speaking stiffening the rear will create oversteer. At cruising speeds you may find it improves the handling but at maximum cornering, you could be in for a surprise. Just saying.

Take care guys.

Cheers.

Would springs designed for 05-09 fit 10-11?
