Which lowering springs?

[MustangGT95]

What springs are you guys using? I am about to get a set of springs and new shocks/struts for my GT. Definitely lowering it. Has anyone tried the BBK springs? If they are junk I may just get the sportlines.

im geting the ones stangsuspension.com offers from them.

FRPP B springs. As close to stock spring rates as you're gonna get with a lowering spring set. Ride was important to me as well as a nice drop.
FRPP C springs and all others I had looked at were much higher in spring rates which translate to a kidney busting ride.
That last point is individually biased. Some people like the rigid ride.

JJ how much did it lower the car? Any pics? Jegs and summit carry the FRPP springs right?

H&R sports all the way

 

[MustangGT95]

Have any pics of your car with the h&r's? Who sells them?

 

[JJ95GTID]

Not the best pic

Yes, SummitRacing carries them for around $140. I have the BFG DRs on the car in this picture. Normally run the tribars on all four corners.

The drop is between 1.25" to 1.5" and the B springs are a progressive rate.

Ill see if I can get you some pics, but it looks sick. Dropped it around 2" all around.

I got Eibach Pro-Kits. A decent enough drop without being so low that I bottom out on everything, which is the main reason I got them. Also, the ride isn't so harsh since they are progressive rate springs.

i just had sportlines installed this morning. Definatly not too low and i LOVE the ride. I was worried my car might look like a lowrider but that really isnt the case at all.

I have BBK springs on my car, I bought it that way so Im not sure if they are progressive or constant. The ride isnt bad, big bumps hurt, but what car thats lowered isnt going to feel a speedbump.

 

[1TRIKGT]

Sportlines with x2 balljoints(no spacer) and one isolator removed from front...
2 1/2" drop in front and 2" in back.
I know Ill get trash talked from some people for it but this weekend Im installing airbag suspension to see if it rides better than now( its a very stiff ride) and so I can lift the body when needed for clearance.
I want to upgrade over time to airride technologies shockwave and airstrut system.

one more vote for h&r supersports. i love how my car looks with them. i will try and get some pics up later

 

[MustangGT95]

I ended up ordering the FRPP B springs. Decided I didn't want a huge drop or real stiff ride. If it lower the car at least an inch I'll be happy.

That's awesome 1TRIKGT, I would love to go with some time of air ride suspension! I saw them do it on HP TV and they loved it! Let me know how it turms out as far as ride and adjustability as well as cost, I am very intersested in seeing it!

By the way 1TRIKGT your stance looks awesome now!

Thanx, Ill let you know how it handles and post some pix once I get the car back... we put the kit in fri. night but theres something wrong with the valves so I left the car at the shop and the owners pulling them apart to see whats wrong and fix it.
So far its ran me about $1200 but Im getting digital guages and controls so that will be another $350 through a hook-up(They go for $900 retail)and the shop that I got the kit from put the bags in for me for free... I ran the lines, wired everything up and installed the tank, compressor, and valves a week earlier at home. Ill be very pissed if Im not satisfied with the ride and handling! but Ill have no problem taking the kit off and selling it if I dont like it. I dont want to hijack this thread though so Ill start a new post once I gety the car back.
