I am a big fan of Eibach Sportlines or H&R SS
For me, the Prokit or FMS springs don't lower enough.

Gotta go with Eibach Sportlines or H&R SuperSports ![[worship]](graemlins/worship.gif)
Just like mentioned before nothing else drops low enough for me.
My old 02 GT had sportlines......and my old 03 Cobra had H&R's.
Here's a pic of the GT
Hope that helps! ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
EDIT: Here's the Cobra

Go talk to Mike Maier of Maier Racing in Hayward. He makes his own springs and can make your car as low as you want.

I'm surprised he has been nothing but cool with me. I have a set of his springs and they work great.
If I didn't get his I would get H&R SS, my old Eibach's sagged after 3 years.

I have the FMS 'B' springs on my notch and it's plenty low enough for me.
when I have my stock h-pipe on, the cats drag on 50% of speedbumps I go over, and on the lip of some driveways ![[Mad]](mad.gif)
I'd hate to have it any lower! Ride quality is much better than the stock springs/shocks/struts on my convertable. I have bilstein shocks/struts, mm C/C plates, and mm FLSFC's to go with the springs though.

He probably just didn't want someone to ask for like a custom 3" lowering spring ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif) to just slap on and expect everything to work correctly.
Anytime you go lower than an 1-1.5" you need to be aware of the change in susp geometry and especially in racing situations like they deal with on a regular basis.
