Eibach sportlines are pretty damn low. Coil overs are great in that your getting the better design along with being able to set the height just about anywhere you want. If you need help on the install let me know. I won't drain your account like a lot of the shops will

I reccomend Eibach Sportlines.

If you want the best handling out of it with more drop but more money do the Coil-overs. If you want lots of drop at a cheap price go with the Sportlines

or if you want a low drop with almost no price, cut the damn things yourself. Just an idea that a lot of people do.

Go with the sprotilines. I had them in my last stang and I was very happy with them. I still wanted to go lower so after about a year I cut a coil and a half off them.. Sportlines are tight. If u want some Intrax pm me I got some new ones.

I had my stock saleen springs cut and it rides like absolute shit and i hate it. Going to do it right this time and get coil overs. Dont cut, everytime i hit a bump it hits hella hard.

Eibach sportlines suck... They are way to soft for the drop they offer and the rear drops slightly more than the front...(typical Eibach)

If you're looking toward conventional springs and want to do it right, I recommend H&R supersports with Bilstein sport struts/shocks and MM caster/camber plates... I ran this combo for awhile on my 96 Cobra, and thought it was a nice setup for the street... It was stiff, but not harsh by any means... Another plus about H&R springs is that they don't sag over the years... I actually still have my supersports in the rear but with Griggs coil-overs in front...
