Talking How low is too low???

Hey everyone...I was thinking of buying some Eibach lowering springs but have no concept of how it's gonna look...I want a low stance but not slammed...they have a sportline set that will put it down 2 in the front and 1.8 in the back as well as a pro set that will drop it 1.5 all around...what do you think???

Personally I like the look of larger rims. It fills out the wheel space quite nicely. I think if stangs are brought too low, they can easily start to look ricey. That's my opinion though.

If you dont want slammed and bouncy, then dont get the Eibach sportlines. Those C springs seem to drop differently on every car it seems? Maybe its just me,just havent seen it drop that low before.

What do you think of the eibach pro set...drops it 1.5 all around. I think the sprtline springs will drop it too low and i don't feel like angling over every little bump...

Look at my sig. It has H&R 2" drop springs. The car sat even lower, but I put 40 series tires on the car (from 35's) and it picked it up 8mm. i was noticible. It did sort of have a slammed look, but it looked really sweet. If you have a sharp driveway entry, don't put a body kit with a lower nose like mine. It took me forever to get used to what I could drive over, lol.

This is my car with eibach pro-kits. Not bouncy and not stiff. If you decide to get sportlines or the h&rs those produce almost the same stance which will make the top of your tire look like its going to touch your fendor.
