Question HELP! Lowering Springs

So since everyone knows already that I bought 20" wheels, well now I need to lower the pony. Im looking at Eibach Pro-plus kit, Eibach Sportline Plus kit, FFRP and H&R Super Sport spring. Both Eibach kits are around $500 and the H&R springs are $230. Im not worried about price what Im worried about is which are better. Pro-kit is about a 1" drop, Sportline is 1.5-2" drop, FFRP 1.5" drop and the H&R springs go from 1.7-2.5" drop. I had Eibach prokit on my old car but this pony is entirely different so I dont know what to do. Can everyone give me their opinions? Please!

I feel sporting are too low. The FRPP springs are a rebranded prokit, they are the exact same springs except for color.

I have the FRPPs with dspecs, I like the springs, but would go with Koni dampers if I was doing it again. Don't try to reuse your strut mounts, I did since my car had under 10 miles on it when I put the new setup in. It didn't matter, it didn't take long for the mounts to start popping like crazy. I swapped in a set of GT500 mounts and have been fine for 40k

yeah i wouldnt go that low but with 20s it would probably even out. i hear very good things about the konis and have been hearing alot about people with dspecs wishing they had konis. i completely agree with the strut mounts though gets the gt500s i never really needed them with just the springs but once i did dampners i changed mine out

What about using a coil over setup?

I am thinking about that for my 2004 Mach 1.

Anybody got some recommendations?
