Default 1990 GT Convertible springs ???

I'm going to be doing my suspension pretty soon and have been doing a lot of reading on here about what springs to go with... Most guys say to go with H&R super sports... I know they tend to drop the car quite a bit which is what I want...but my only concern would it be too much for my BBK long tubes im running... would I be better off going with a different spring or will I be fine with the H&R super sports???

H&R's are pretty good.Call Maximum Motorsports and tell them what you're trying to do. I bet they'll hook you up pretty good.

no one can tell you if your long tubes will scrape, each application is always different, you'll have to measure how low they are to the ground now and compensate for the drop to get an idea.

I understand that... but maybe someone else had a similar setup and knew this already... the long tubes on my 96 scraped but only on speed bumps and that was with KYB AGX's and an eibach pro kit... supposedly the H&R super sports are lower? wanted to get an idea cause the drop listed on the box isnt always the actual drop
