FP handling pack or Steeda pro-active w/ minimum drop?

[Recian1]

It's time to upgrade my worn out 130k mile stock suspension on my 16 convertible. I've been doing alot of research on suspension and wheels since I'm also going to be changing rims to possibly 19/20x9.5 so I'd like them to clear. I'll be doing front FP links, replacing the split RLCA joints and things like that, rebuilding the suspension. Kind of torn between these 2 sets for strut/spring combo I've listed. The Ford Performace street pack set is a better price especially since you also get stabilizers and I'm all for keeping OE performance upgrades but it's a 1" drop. The steeda is a bit pricer, comes with camber plates and is labeled as .5" drop (up to .75" for convertible) so it's less drop. I'm not necessarily trying to go any lower as I don't do anything crazy and I'd like to still clear driveway humps and such. I just like to upgrade when parts wear out rather than putting stock stuff back. My car is all stock currently sitting 28" wheel arch height with 6" clearance from pinch weld to ground. My lifts at work are in-ground so you drive over the posts to use it so it'll need to clear those humps when I'm done which is another reason I'd like to not go with too much drop. Does anyone have these measurements after installing the ford performance 1" drop or steeda minimum drop springs?

FP STREET dampers same as PP are perfect balance work well with OE springs for daily. Just need a PP, GT350, Eibach front sway not really a rear though wait till dampers are on and other stuff done though when changing out the arms it's a good time to put in the sway when that stuff is off.

I love the PP dampers on my vert paired with FP control arms kit and Eibach front sway plus 24 MM rear sway. Very comfortable over trash roads corners great feels like a very expensive car.

I'd like to buy something already put together. I can assemble them but our spring compressor is janky. Id be ok with PP Struts and springs stock height. Ford sells PP struts otc but it'll be pieces I have to assemble and i want new springs too. There's also so many options when you're looking outside the vin in their oem catalog. I just wish the ford performance site sold the handling pack with stock springs, or should I get the handling pack and just buy a set of new springs and swap in? Do PP and base use the same springs?

The spring rates for PP springs are a little stiffer than Base GT.
