I have a GT PP, and I''ve been looking at some lowering springs, particularly the Eibach Pro Kit, Steeda springs, and Ford Racing springs. All are about a 1" drop (Eibach says 1.1" in the front, which I like, as the front could stand to be lowered a bit more than the rear, IMO), which is about what I'm looking for. My question is how do you choose? It's difficult to find all the spring rates, and even then, I'm not sure how they compare to the stock PP springs. I definitely don't want anything softer. The only real discernible difference I see is that the Ford Racing springs are progressive rate, and even then, I'm not sure what that translates to on the road. Any input is appreciated, and thanks for the help!
Happy to help! Our reputation speaks for itself, feel free to check out some of the rave reviews on our springs on our site in addition to all over this forum. Our springs are 25% stiffer than the PP springs and provide an amazing ride quality.

Did we mention we have more parts currently available for the S550 than any other brand out there? We've put a ton of R&D into all of our parts and expect new parts to be released on the regular! Feel free to pm me with any questions.

I love the eibach pro-kit and soon to be on the sportline springs. Cant go wrong with any spring company you go with. They lowering springs will definitely improve the overall handling and ride of the car.

Another thing to consider when looking at these freshly installed spring pictures, is the settling that will occur with the springs over the next two weeks.

I'm not sure how noticeable it will be, but it's something you don't want to forget about.

@ David@steeda. Are you guys coming out with a set of springs for the mustang that gives a bit more rake(or front drop compared to the rear)?
If so any idea on a time frame?

Are you guys waiting ~2 weeks before getting alignments due to the spring settling?

That piece of information really doesn't give me a lot of confidence. What is your spring rate compared to stock?
