Question Wt Fiesta- Lowering Springs or Airbags? Thoughts and experiences please!

Hey guys I've been wanting to slam my Fiesta for a while now and am now ready to do so. Has anyone lowered a WT Fiesta and was it straight forward? And does anyone do an off the shelf airbag kit for them? Any advice or links would be helpful. Thanks.

I think Eibach to the same style springs as they do for our Focus, "Pro-kit" they are called, 30mm drop and they're progressive too.

I buy from European-Parts but they're down doing website maintenence at the moment.

Try here http://focus.c-f-m.com/eibachpro-kit...iesta2011.aspx you can get the Eibach's pretty cheap. However if you really want to drop it, look at coilovers which are a fair bit more.

Has anyone used the Eibach Sportline Springs http://www.tunersdepot.com/Suspensio...l?yy=2010;2012 ? They are 50mm lower than standard springs for only another $25...
