Default tokico springs?

I need new shocks bad! and i thought why not lower it at once?
i had thought about the h&r super sport for my springs but this seems like a good deal
does anyone have this setup? are the tokico springs any good?

Tokico is a very reliable, and reputable company. I wouldn't be too worried about using thier springs. I use Tokico dampers. What I would advise is that you buy my H&R springs. https://mustangboards.com/mustang-cl...ings-isos.html

410? there arent any cheaper than that around?
meh havent seen them around my area. but then again most people in my area of ohio have nothing outside of stock..
looking around i guess that the 410 is a decent deal actually.

Solid deal for a good street setup with out to much of a drop so speed bumps and steep driveways won't be a problem.

my other concern with these springs was if they didn't do a noticeable drop.
I really wanna get rid of that big gap between the fender and my front wheels.
but yea i don't wanna scrape my bottom with a 5" high speed bump either.

Car won't be slammed but is a good compromise between being low and being able to DD drive over speed bumps etc... My car is around 1" all the way around and is good enough for me.

mine dropped just about an inch all around with eibach pros and new isolators. not a huge drop but definitely noticeable and much better than stock. even noticeable to "non-mustang" folks . i looked at the tokico springs to go with my blue shocks/struts but didn't get them because i couldn't find any hard data on spring rates to compare to other brands and then i got the eibachs pretty cheap off ebay .

i'd bet the tokico package will work very well for you

you could just pull out the lower isolators on the front to see if you like the look/ride. that's free except labor (not hard to do yourself either) and if you don't like it you can just put it back like it was. you'd probably get 1/4-1/2 inch drop. i think some guys pull all the isolators out of the front and don't have any problems.

so i found some front eibach pros with new isolators
and i got my tokico hp coming in tomorrow.
is it a bad idea to drop the front only with the eibach pros?

^ It could be. If the springs have different rates.

i think the reason you can find front springs pretty easily is from guys converting to coilovers on the front. but if you decide later you want to change just the rear springs to match the front, you'll probably have a hard time finding just the rears for a good price.
