Lowering Springs
 

What would you recommend for my 89? Eibach seems like the popular choice but I'd rather hear some experiences.

thanks

I've got a mixture of Eibach and Roush on my GT installed by the previous owner and they've been fine. Never heard anything bad about the Eibachs.

Eibach is great on my car, I should've went with the Sportline and get that 2" drop, but oh well. You can try Steeda as well, they have excellent quality springs.

Eibach's!! ;)

Eibach are awsome. I have Sportline installed on my car. deleted Quad aswell as MAC upper and lower control arms. Kenny Brown subframe

Eibach sport line Pros: GREAT HANDLEING!! I've had my car up to top speed and I can move from lane to lane on the highway and she just glides. The Comfort is good to.

Cons : 60' time hurt with stock set up

I've pulled better times with the stock springs

my car only sits 1.75 lower in the rear and a little higher in the front.
It all depends on your application though.

I belive they have 3 types of springs
Drag Kit
Pro Kit
Sportline

H&R SuperSports!

That's definately a nice look there. Get a set like his and your looking and performing well.

What ever you do, stay away from Ford Motorsport springs. The worst mod I ever did!

Though I have Eibach's, I did hear that the FRPP "C" springs were pretty good?

C's are good for road course combined with Koni "yellow" shocks. A little harsh riding on the street

I have Steeda SportSprings with Tokico Illumina's and I like it a lot.

Visually, I got a nice drop without looking "slammed". Somebody who doesn't know Mustangs and/or cars in general probably wouldn't realize that the car was lowered, but put it next to a Mustang with stock springs and you see the difference right away!

Ride quality is very good. Firm but not harsh over our EXTREMELY bad roads. I'd recommend them.

'90 FOX BODY.................

I just went with Steeda springs, Ford Motorsport lower control arms and KYB Gas Adjust shocks...........lowered the car just over an inch with much improved handling. The coolest part is that the ride quality is far better than stock. Great combo that didn't break the bank.
Three weeks ago I tried a set of FMS springs which dropped the car far too low and made it ride nothing short of horrible..........don't go there, you will not like em.

Eibach pro kit :tup With KYB AGX :tup Lots cheaper than other shocks and seem to do as good a job at dampening da bounce.

I have eibach sportlines and tokicos but I would rather have got h&r race but I like a very stiff ride. The Eibachs are a lower springrate so they are a bit "softer" spring but also probably ride nicer than a stiff spring like the h&r race. (talking about sportlines)

Do you find your 60' times are hurting with the sport lines?? or are you into the twisties and high speeds?

I dont think they are really hurting it that much compared to a different brand of spring but in handling wise they arent as good. (theyre still good and better than stock just I feel the h&r's would work even better)

You will notice this more in high speeds and twisties like you have said.

I am beginning to think that H&R "Race" springs may be the ticket for my application ('98 GT Autoslalom, Lapping, daily driver).

Anyone know of a Canadian distributor with a web site so I can compare prices?

Sadly, you probably won't find any Canadian sites that have pricing for items like that.

Here's a link to their distributors page.

There's a place in Markham, never heard of it but then it sounds like a "tuner" shop. No website listed.

www.stangsuspension.com - not canadian, but the exchange rate is pretty good right now, H & R's are $230 :)

They are a mail order only vendor...............decent enough folks on the phone.
