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.

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. check out eibach's or steeda's webpage, they seem to have a 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
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

I was eighther thinking of getting the Eibach Pro kit but i heard they arent stiff enough to dramtically increase performence, So i was looking at the H&R which lower it 1.7-2 inches and are stiffer than eibach, 25-30% stiffer than stock... what do u guys think? Eibach lower 1.5, H&R a little more about 2 inches, im getting bilstein shocks, caster camber, and bushins, still dont know which springs, HELP ME!

I heard that Eibach Sportline are alot stiffer(and better) than the prokit... That's what I'm installing(along with Tokico 5-way and Kenny B. Caster camber plates). Go to stangnet.com and read the forums on suspension. You'll get some more help with your springs.
My friend has H&R on his 01 Cobra, but it just dropped the hell out of that car. It also looks like the back is lower than the front.. I hate that.

My '91 is as about as low as can get it and still have a decent ride, i'm not sure how much its been lowered but I do know its from ground control. If you want to see a pic jut go to my gallery. (I'd put it right below where i'm writing but I don't know how to get it over here)
