Lowering Springs NEED DECISION!!!!!!

97FORD GEE TEE · 10-25-2000, 07:30 AM

Hey guys, well I got all my money together and I am relying on you. I have a 97 GT and I want to get rid of all that fenderwell gap and start on some nice handling. My two options I am considering are this. I want a pretty decent drop 1.5 - 2". So I am considering both the Eibach pro - kit and the eibach sportline kit. My only worry is that the sportline kit will ruin my suspension terribly and the ride wont be good at all. I am going to probably install tockico 5 way adjustable shocks and struts with this kit, so let me knwo what would work best. I want it to look lowered, handle better, and ride pretty well, not completely harsh, any input? Thanks, and if you have any pics of your cars lowered with these or any other kit suggestions could you include the links, thanks guys!

I've heard that going more than 1.5" is a big NO NO. I'd go with the Prokit, Tokicos, CC plates, and steering rack bushings at the very least. If you really want to kick *** go get some weld in subframes and a strut tower brace as well...

I put sportline on my '00. I was really worried but the guys at the shop told me I would want it lower if I went pro-kit. Well they were right, I love the look now. Of course the ride is rougher, but not as bad as I thought it might be. Definitely would do it again.
