I really don't see the need for the panhard and other goodies just for lowering the rears do you?
I plan on struts/shocks and a lot more, but new baby = tight wallet.
Mine is a 10 but I wouldnt think so. Probably the only other thing you might consider is a set of LCA's. I've used this set from AM for a measly 99 bucks http://www.americanmuscle.com/2005-p...ling-arms.html on two occasions and have been very happy with them. I did them at the same time I did the spring swap since I was under the car anyway. Just cuz they are cheap doesnt make them crap! These things completely eliminated wheel hop and firmed my launches up quite a bit. You might want to have a set of ratcheting straps (like for tying down a load) handy to help shift the axle a bit if you do the rear LCA's. Don't bother with the other stuff IMO right now if funds are an issue.
Well, install took about 40 minutes. Unbolt LCA and bottom shock bolt, lower axle, swap springs, bolt up and drive. (Could have gotten away without unbolting LCA, I believe.)
Seems to be on spot, maybe a tad lower. I will know more tomorrow. Does anyone know since the spring rate is different on the brembo how will that affect the ride height up front?
Cannot wait until I get full suspension... Just the back made a huge difference.
So, the back sits a tad lower. What do you guys think about putting the isolators/thick rubber that wraps about the bottom/top of spring from the springs on my 99 to raise the back a little?

I had same problem on my Brembo car. I bit the bullet and put Roush springs in the front as well. The Brembo suspension sits higher than the standard GT.
I thought about that, but I plan to eventually get the pro kit and do everything the proper way. I found the springs for $65, so I figured why not in the mean time.
