Default Lowering Springs

Hi guys, i have a 2008 V6 Mustang Premium. I was considering about dropping my car to give it a better look.
What are some good name brand sprigs which i can buy ?
Thank You

For your model and year, i know some guys running h&r and eibach. Great stance and smooth ride in v8s. Both those companies have great suspension products, im sure they have somthing for you. Hope this helps.

I have the Eibach pro kit, and love it. It really improves the look and handling, without being too harsh on the ride quality. The sportline kit is also popular, but it drops the car a bit further causing a rougher ride. The FRPP kit is also a nice setup.

i have the steeda ultralite lowering springs. i absolutely love them. with any lowering kit you can either do caster camber plates ($200+) or camber bolts ($30). i did the camber bolts. let me know if you have any more questions

always a good idea to install an adjustable panhard bar. Some say you don't need it, but I did the BMR springs and it did cause the rear end to kick over to the drivers side. The adj track bar is so simple to install and adjust, and they're less than $120 delivered.

New springs will make your stock shocks seem 'bouncy' since the new springs are stiffer.

FYI the FRPP springs are actually made by Eibach, so I'd count those as the same kit. I did the FRPP springs only on mine, worked well. I haven't seen any strange wear issues yet and after the install was finished, the axle was still centered so no panhard needed.

If you are working on a budget, just get the springs and make sure you get an alignment afterward.

May depend on which springs you get but I found the FRPP rear springs to actually improve the ride since they are progressive vs. the non-progressive stock springs.

Much less "hop" over bumps.
