Default Eibach Springs???

Im looking to get some new springs for my Stang, but I know in the past i had to also upgrade my struts and shocks, because of the pogo effect. I had this problem before with my GTP, I ordered springs and no strut upgrade and got a pogo effect. My question is had anyone just replaced thier springs and kept stock struts and shocks and had no problems? Any help would be great.
Thanks

for any drop over 1.5", you will definitely want to get new struts and shocks to eliminate the bouncing effect, but if it's just mildly lowered, your stock struts/shocks will do fine for a while, but it's a good idea to change them.

I agree if you're already under there might as well do the whole thing IE springs, shocks, struts, caster/camber plates. It's expensive but hey I would if I could afford it. if not you should be just fine

On my '95 Cobra I originally just changed the springs to Steeda springs. The ride with the stock struts/shocks was very good. Once they wore out I replaced them with Tokico HP's (Blue). The ride now is very firm but not bouncy. Your ride firmness also depends a lot on the profile of your tires. The lower the profile, the more of the road you will feel.

I changed from Eibach Pro's to the Sportlines with about 125k on the clock and the ride really isn't that bad i did fix the bump steer with CC plates and bump steer kit with some off set rack bushings and seems to ride really nice..though i am in the market for some struts and shocks Q shocks
BTW im running 18x9's with 265/35/18's up front and 18x10's with 295/35/18's in the rear


these Eibach Pro's are for sale 135.00 + shipping and there yours
