Hey i want to lower my 98 stang about 4 inches, but i want to keep the same comfortable ride, what type of lowering springs should i go with?

4inches? You going to need to bag it to get it that low and still be able to drive around. never going to get a decent ride if you want to run that low. You are better off dropping about 2 to 2.5 still get a decent ride and far better handling charctistics then being stock height or to low.

2 inch is about it..depends on what spring rate you want

BAGS BLOW!!! Not only are they notorious for air line problems they ride for s**t.

1.5" is about the limit if you want to keep the same ride characteristics. 2.5" is probably the max. 4" is just plain ridiculous. below 1.5"it gets harsher but will handle better if you invest in new shocks/struts, bushings and other things. checkout eibach's or steeda's webpage, they seem to havea good handle on these things.

lolz 4" thats insane... no more than an inch to keep a comfortable ride, you can go 1.5" and get an ok ride, a 2" drop and you can feel a possum fart on the road.

Put her on bags! Heh

My friend has bags in his Trans Am, and the ride is so incredibly smooth, it's awesome.

Just like everything you can do to a car, it has it's problems if the butthole who did it, didn't do everything the way he should have. Don't slam something without proof <IMG src=smileys/smiley3.gif border="0">

I happen to know 4 people with air-bags installed and not one of them has had any problem whatsoever. Has anyone seen a old station wagon painted white with purple flames and huge 18" wheels on air bags? Pure shaggin' wagon<edited><editID>Dan02GT</editID><editDate>37919.5789930556</editDate></edited>
