Default Need help with decisions

I want to lower my 02 GT, 72,000 miles.not to low but low enough that its noticable. I like h&r products, maybe the super sports, or just sport spring. Also like steeda and eibach but the steeda's arent low enough, so maybe eibach pro kit.Also I think im going to get tokico s/s, and last MM c/c plates, I was looking around your site, I like the writeup with spring rates. What do you recommend I get, I dont go to the track so I do not need drag springs or anything like that, I just want a lower stance, good ride quality, good handling. I think im set on the s/s and c/c plates but not the springs, h&r's or eibach pro kit, Thanks.

I would stick with either the H&R Sport Springs or Eibach Pro-Kits... for several reasons.

[ol][*]They lower a noticeable amount, without being too low.[*]They have a moderate, progressive spring rating. Good for performance and ride comfort.[*]They will not be too stiff for the Tokico HP's you plan on purchasing, they will be a nice match.[/ol]
The H&R Super Sports may be a bit too stiff for what you're looking for.

Sincerely,

They both lower a very similar amount. On paper, the H&R sports lower slightly more.

Bushings will just increase performance that much more.

Easy to install bushings when installing your springs:
[ul][*]front swaybar bushings[*]front endlinks[*]offset rack bushings[*]spring isolators - will lift the suspension 1/4 of an inch higher than oem isolators. If you want to lower the maximum amount, use oem isolators.[/ul]
