Default Couple ?'s about my 06 GT

First off my car is still under warrenty. Only has 1500 miles on it. I am looking at purchasing a Intake/tuner package. I currently am looking at the following : C&L , JLT 2 both with SCT XCAL2 tuner and the Granatelli CAI. As far as the tunes go, the town I live in , the gas stations don't carry 93 octane fuel so i'm not sure if I would experience all the gains of the tuner. Also I would like to be able to get warranty work done to the car if needed. Which intake would you recommend?

I want to lower the rear of the car so that it sits level . Can you just change the rear springs to get the car to sit level without changing fronts? If so which rear springs are used? Also will this void the warrenty?

I will post a pic of car as soon as I figure it out

Thanks for the help....

You can get a tune for 91 octane (I'm guessing that's what you have) and still have gaines.
http://www.magnusonproducts.com/magnusonmoss.htmshould explain warrenty work. It's best to check with your dealer since they most likely will blame whatever you do to your car as the problem.
Yes you can just do the rear springs.
As far as the parts, you will get a lot of different answers. Do a search and read posts and do what suits you bestfor what your end results are you want.

I intended to lower front too so Ibought Eibach ProKit. After lowering the rear I found that this was the stance I wanted and with the eventual CDC Agressive CS, lowering the front was out of the question. You can save money by just buying Roush or FRPP rear coils (there are others as well). Measure rear alignment before you begin, and then after. You may not need an adj panhard bar (I did, used BMR's). I will be adding adj LCA's soon to set the pinion angle. No warranty problem generally speaking (any dealership service mgr can be an ***; just go elsewhere)

Yeah, perfect plan (IMHO it's the only way to go). I see no reason to mod the front; did the rear coils with panhard bar, no special tools; one hour incl test drive and recheck) I'm handy but not a mechanic by trade.

I think you'll agree dropping the front on mine makes no sense. Just the unsightly gap in the rear wheelwell needs to go "bye bye".
