Default Springs have finally settled

Well its been a few weeks and the springs have started to settle. Decided to take a few quick pictures since the car was clean.

Still think it could stand to be a bit more lower but I am happy with it. Handles so much better with the new springs and sway bars.

Note that I was not going for a huge drop but something a little bit lower and better handling

Incase anyone is wondering I went with the Ford B springs, Poly ISOS, Tockiko Shocks and Struts and Ebiach Handling kit.

That looks much better. How is the ride quality and performance compared to the stock springs?

Not going to lie its a lot firmer ride and I can feel the bumps more. But it handles so much better able to take corners harder and faster. But I knew it was going to be a firmer ride before I installed them so I was expecting it.

I don't see a difference at all. But it is late lol.

BUT I ******* love those FR500s on your car. Way better than the cobras.

I think its because of the ISOs though, now that I see those. I think it equaled out the difference in actual spring drop.

I can`t see much myself but you`ll know better than me. Nice looking machine though man. -I noticed the same as you going from stock to Eibachs. Handling was slightly up and the ride became firm and unforgiving at times but I`m not complaining as I still have the stock shocks. The car had only done 20k miles so I figured they wouldn`t be fucked.
I dropped it to lose the offroader look to be honest. I`m not to fussed about handling as across here anyone could take me in my 2 valve tug boat on the roads we have.
