    I am planning to lower my new Shelby, and I am trying to decide between the Eiboch Prokit ($440 installed) or the "Ford Handling Package" ($1,200 installed).

    I lowered my 06 Mustang GT with the Eiboch kit, and it looked great - but on the GT500 I really don't want the ride to be too rough.

    Any advice here, has anyone used the Ford Kit, this includes dampers - etc. not just the lowering spring like the Eiboch kit.

    Thanks

    I used the Vogtland springs. Nice height, nice ride and $210 delivered to my door. Don't forget to use an adjustable panhard rod if you lower it.

    How far did that lower the car?

    Eiboch Pro - 1.5"

    Ford Handling - 1"

    Do you have any pictures of the car after you lowered it?

    Thanks
