Anyone Ecoboost owners out there using minimum drop springs?

I have been contemplating the Steeda minimum drop springs as I'm trending in the linear direction. However, I'm guessing with the 1/2 inch drop, that will be less on the Ecoboost up front. I've reached out to Steeda and they have suggested the dual rate, which give me a little more drop, but my concern it would be a little more harsh on the ride. I'm looking performance first, but I want to keep some comfort as this is more a street car than a track car. I want it to be comfortable for the occasional road trip. I know the progressive option is always there but ...

I too like performance over ride. I'm running Ford Track struts and shocks with Steeda linear springs and I like the setup. Tires are 305/35/19 & 285/35/19. My car is weekends and car shows only so I put Cup 2's on the car and it's night and day from any other tires I've run. I absolutely love it. Good luck with yours.

The Dual Rates are very comfortable, but it is a performance-oriented spring. If the roads you're traveling are in bad shape, then they may feel a bit harsher.

The Progressives Springs would be the most comfortable option between the 3. Check out the attached links for both of the Progressive Options (non-Magnaride/ with Magnaride)
Steeda 555 8210 Mustang Sport Lowering Springs - Progressive (15-26)
Steeda 555 8242 Mustang MagneRide Sport Progressive Lowering Springs (15-26)

We are having our Memorial Day Sale right now, so now is a great time to grab a set.

More wheel poke and PP1 dampers (same as Ford Performance Street Dampers) with HPP springs is perfect balance of wheel gap, handling and performance.

EIBACH front sway on full soft Plus 24mm rear Ford sway make a huge handling difference.

Ride is very smooth, corners on rails, looks lowered.

I'm not much of a fan for spacers, but did change up the wheels already to a 33 offset, which helps push out more. I also went from the factory 255/40 to the 265/40 to add a slightly taller, sidewall which has helped with the ride. While browsing this topic, I've seen several responses you've mentioned as well, that have been helpful in the thought process. Ideally, I'm trying to do this once, but right, out of the gate.

I wouldn't do spacers either. 265-40-19 helps.
