If your going to spend the money on suspension go elsewhere then the gt500 suspension...not the greatest for handling...there are many kits out there that will really tighten up ur car around corners and thats not what the gt500 is known for maybe the shebly gt....

Sorry, I can't give you specs. Take a look at MSN and compare the GT with the GT 500 and see if that helps. Seat of the pants--I pulled up next to a GT/CS the other night and it looks like we were at least an inch and a half lower.....

Don't go with the GT500 suspension...FRPP or aftermarket is the best bet

+1....the gt500 suspension is built for the additional weight of the gt500..aftermarket is way better
