07 GT 500 suspension in a 2012 V6?
So i went by my Dads the other day. He has an 07' GT 500 Super Snake. At about 800 miles he had the conversion done. So all this time he has had his stock suspension (sprngs, struts, front and rear sway bars and strut tower bar) sitting in his work room. Well I started by testing the strut tower bar. Fits perfectly, like it was made for my car. Now Im in the works to see if the sway bars will fit. from the look of it I'm told they should fit like OEM replacements, but I havnt had it done yet so I'm not sure. Now to my point, lol...
I want to get stiffer suspension but don't have the cash at the moment...now If from what I have read is true and the GT Struts off a 2011 fit my V6 and the GT500 struts from 07+ fit the GT than they should also fit my car. Now assuming this all works, I know the stock Gt 500 springs will cause a lift in my ride hight which is not what I want, what if I got lowering springs? I'm not sure how high the stock springs would lift me but I'm guessing a 1.5" drop spring should keep me at around (if not hopefully at least a .5" drop from) MY stock ride hieght? If anyone knows any details or has tried this before that would be great to find out. Thanks!
