Eibach Pro-kit vs Ford Racing springs - 7/11/2007 4:25:14 PM    Glenn_GT07CS Posts: 21 Joined: 3/18/2007 Status: offline I'm having trouble making a decision between the Eibach Pro-kit and Ford Racing springs. For a 2007 Stang GT application - I'm looking at the Eibach Pro-Kit springs but I'm not sure I like the drop of 1.3" front and 1.4" rear. Ford Racing springs say they drop appx 1.5" all around and I would rather keep the stock slope rather than bring the rear down. I don't plan to replace my 18" stock bullit wheels for awhile and want to remove as much air space in the wheel well for this daily driver. Do you recommend the FR springs, which are installed on the 2007 Shelby GTs or the Eibach Pro-Kit and why? _____________________________ 2003 Cobra (#2641 of 8394) ______2007 GT/CS (California Special) Post #: 1

I would make the choice of how low do you want the car?   Do you want to lower more or less?   If you want more of a drop go with the Ford Racing Springs... I can tell you this...  the Eibach Pro-Kits sell about 10 to 1 over the Ford Racing springs on our site.....  not sure if that means anything, but can tell you where most customers steer. _____________________________ Josh Sadowsky http://www.stangsuspension.com Mustang suspension parts and performance.

I think I'll stick with Eibach. Thanks again! _____________________________ 2003 Cobra (#2641 of 8394) ______2007 GT/CS (California Special) (in reply to STANGSUSPENSION) Post #: 3

So they are basically the same spring. Personally, I would stick with eibach.

Some do not like the extreme drop of the K springs. _____________________________ Josh Sadowsky http://www.stangsuspension.com Mustang suspension parts and performance.

RE: Eibach Pro-kit vs Ford Racing springs - 5/14/2008 6:23:53 PM    STANGSUSPENSION   Posts: 494 Joined: 5/2/2004 Status: offline Its all based on the drop. If you really want the drop to be excessive, go with the Sportlines, otherwise stick with the Pro-Kit. The Pro-Kits lower less, and you do not have to worry about bottoming out, speed bumps, or parking blocks.
