Rate your GT after lowering it ?

FRPP springs only. My ride didnt change much really. I travel on mostly nice roads so that helps. But I've been on some junk roads on it wasnt too much different than stock. I'm very happy and highly recommend these springs.

I would rate my setup a 8 out of 10 for comfort, and 12 out of 10 for handling. I have the H&R Super Sport springs, Tokico Dspecs(full soft) with 18s and love it . The ride is stiffer than stock but I was willing to compromise for looks and handling.
OT: Mellow...I like the new sig.

WOW what a reponse. Thank you first of all ! I like the look of the eibach pro series. I've heard the FFRP are eibachs. I will definitely go with adjustable Tokico D after all of your write ups. Great information this helped with my decisions. Im in northern Lake County,Lindenhurst,Il. I would like to put together a Mustang gathering or cruise on a future Saturday night. Im running 18 x 10 for shoes in the rear,any issues with tire rub ?

It really depend's on what type of tires you'll go with....I went from complete stock with 17''/55 tires to 1.5"/2" drop + stiffer shocks/struts+20" wheels with 35 front/30 rear tires...if you rate the stock ride as 10 for comfort and realistic 4-5 in handling/performance after the lowering I'll rate it as 6-7 comfort/12 handling/performance .If you need comre for comfort I wont go with wheels bigger than 18"

You shouldn't have any issues with a 10" wheel for the rear, just be sure to keep the offset of the wheel in mind too.
FYI...If I lived somewhere that had terrible roads, I would not have gone with the aggressive springs I have now.

I have eibach pro kit and stock shocks and its great! Its a big rough but it handles so well. You can feel the road a lot better and the bumps more but its really not bad. I have 18in wheels with 40/45 series tires.
I dont drive it every day so its not a big deal...

I've had two sets of springs on mine with the dspec dampers. I had steeda competition springs on first. Near stock ride with much better handling. Then I installed the H&R races. Beautiful ride in the front, racecar handling/lowering up front and brutal ride in the rear. I was ready to pull them out and go back to the Steeda's until I purchased new LCA's and LCA relocation brackets. The LCA relocation brackets on the lowest setting took all of the harshness out of the rear H&R's and now the rear rides like a king. Like it's on glass. I now have the perfect suspension setup (I think). Perfect combination of street comfort and racecar handling.
The rear is what's going to kill you when you lower the car and relocation brackets will fix that.
BTW.. I'm about to post the Steeda competition springs on craigslist. $250 shipped or come and get them around austin,tx.
