I originally planned on getting H&R sports springs along with Bilstien struts/shocks. I am worried that the ride will be to harsh. and the drop maybe to low for me.

I think imma just get the Steeda Sport spring with Tokico PP struts/shock. and save some $$$...atleast my stang wont look like a 4x4 like now...and the ride will be more comfortable.

you wont be happy with the steeda sport springs. dont be a *****, get the h&r sports at least. steeda sports are exactly like ford c springs. not much of a drop and it will still kinda look like a 4x4 imo, thats why i cut mine.

just get the h&r sports and the tokico shocks/struts.

I have Steeda Sports springs and I like them. They ride like stock. I would stay away from H&R Super Sports if you do any drag racing. They kill your weight transfer.

They ride like stock because they are Ford springs with Steeda on them.

Well you can run at the strip, like with any road race setup, you'll do okay but not your full cars potential.
