I am looking at springs for my GT. I am curious what springs still retain the best ride quality without turning it into a lumber wagon. My last car I had coilovers all the way around and it was a rough ride. I would like to keep the ride quality close to stock if possible.

I have been looking at the following:
~VOGTLAND SPORT
~SR PERFORMANCE
~EIBACH SPORTLINE

Anyone have any of the above listed and wanna share their input?

none of those, as said above, the BMR performance springs are your best bet. SR springs are notorious for a rough ride, anyone that says otherwise is lying

None of the above.
Steeda or BMR

I got an Ecoboost but my Steeda progressive sport springs along with Ford Racing jounce bumpers give me a wonderful ride.

I have the Eibach Sportline and love 'em. Looks good and the ride is fine.

We personally like BMR lowering springs. We went from the SP080 to now their drag spring on our 16.

I've got Steeda progressives. Rides just like stock but an inch lower. Doesn't bottom our or feel overly harsh.

My wife said that I could not change anything on the car and I installed the CJpony house brand springs and she never noticed a difference except that the car looks lower. I told her that she needed new glasses because nothing changed.

Jayman33, can you elaborate as to why you changed from the SP080 springs to the drag springs? Your insight might help me make a decision on which springs to go with on my procharged 5.0.

They (Hypermotive) wanted to put springs on the car that were a little more drag oriented.

I will tell you, if you do have a Procharger on the car, your best option will be:

SP089 Front Spring
SP082 Rear Spring

I am recommending this based on my personal experience, as well as many many customers cars.

What this will do is, give you the height and performance that the SP080 give a Naturally Aspirated S550....which is how we engineered our "base" for our spring kits.

If you plan to primarily run the car at a drag strip, use 17" rear wheels with slicks or Drag Radials, and use adjustable rear shocks....then I would recommend the SP089 Front and SP088 Rear Springs.

Good luck!

Love my BMR Performance Springs, just the right amount of drop without too much. I just need shocks now.
