spring roll call
 
I have a 1994 mustang coupe. I want to put lowering springs on. I want the best handleing possible. I plan to put a 351w in. I want springs that handle the best on the street. So guys what do you have and what do you like the best

I've always liked H&R springs. They offer severall different levels of stiffness and performance for each car (Sport, Supersport, Race, Super Race) and they differentiate between hardtops and convertibles also. I've ridden in and driven cars with H&R Supersport springs and Race springs and was impressed with both. As would be expected, the race springs felt stiffer and gave the car a little more grip in the corners, but didn't feel overly harsh for a street car.

Ditto, either H&R or Eibach and NO OTHERS, as you get what you pay for in sage over time...

I was looking at getting the eibach and there rating is 450-600 on front. Then I saw the Ford Racing Cobra R springs that are rated 700-850. Is the higer number always better? Or is eibach still better. Sorry so many questions I just want to get the best so when I switch from the v-6 to the 351w I can keep the springs.

450-580 Eibachs are about 10% stiffer than stock, and EXCELLENT street spring. I used them.
THen I needed more spring for the track and went with linear 650# BBK springs. These were a bit much for the street, but did well on the track.
My point, that 700-850# springs will (IMOHO) be way too much for the street.
I run 425# coilovers (about 850# stock equivalent) and they are VERY firm, and not street friendly.
