Springs????
I'm wanting to put 18 inch cobra r's on my gt, I've been looking at springs, what else do i need to drop it correctly? Or will springs do it fine. The eibach springs say 1.2 to 1.5 inch drop.

Agree...I am a victim of a couple of sets of springs...I do run Eibachs currently, and they have been OK, but I totally screwed up, for I could have gotten the H&R for 100 bucks more.
As for shocks, I have tried them all, for I do eat them up (I set per year aprox). Koni is great, but I do have to go with Bilsteins....absolutely superb.
One awsome suspesion system was from JAMEX...I had those like 7 years ago in my 94 and the car handled like a GoKart.
Urethane bushings all around are great, but they destroyed the suspension in 2 years time.

How the hell did urethane bushings destroy your suspension?</P>
When it comes to lowering your car, it all depends on WHY you are lowering it, and how rough of a ride you can tolerate. If you are lowering your car for looks, rather than performance, then that's what Eibach's are for, they are a softer lowering spring, not s**tty quality as someone made it out to be.</P>
All these other brands are a much stiffer spring, whereas someone who races would prefer these hands down over Eibach's. <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>
