[QUOTE="Leonard 95, post: 8097770, member: 58996"] Well, just like any susp stuff I do I am never completely satisfied. I installed the ford springs only awhile back ago which I was pretty satisfied with, the rode great. Then I replaced the upper and lower control arm with j&m units to fix the dreaded wheel hop. I always thought the rear end needed a tad bit more lowering, so I picked up a brand new set of eibach sportlines for $83 dollars on ebay. I figured it wouldn't hurt to try to them, so of course I had to order more stuff to go with it, ordered tokico d-specs, j&m lower control arm relocation bracket and adjustable panhard. So today I got around to installing them, everything went real smooth, performed alignment and used some camber adjuster bolts from ignall which work great for $25! I first set the d-specs to 3 full turns loose, I thought it was a tad bouncy on the test drive, so I then set front and rear to 2 full turns loose and it drove great, not rough or bouncy at all. The sportlines probably gave the front and rear at least another 1/2 inch lower, I forgot to measure before and after. :) Here are some stock, ford springs and sportline pics.
