18" wheels and springs
I'm new to the board, but i've been viewing posts for a while now. Just got myself an 02 GT and the first thing I am thinking about doing is getting some new wheels and lowering springs. I have made my decision on the wheels, and I am going to go with 18" saleen style wheels. My question is what lowering springs should I go with (if any) to make the wheels look right. I don't want to slam it, but I want to lose the 4 x 4 look that I currently have with my 17s with stock springs.

How hard is to put the eibach pro kit springs in yourself?

My vote goes to Steeda Sport Springs. Lots of people in the local club here run them, and I had them as well. They're exactly the stance you're looking for (low, but not too low) and are designed for performance as much as looks (which is more than I can say for eibach).
They're about the same price, too!

RE: 18" wheels and springs
I would go with a spring, shock, strut kit. I bought these off ebay and am installing this weekend after driving a friends car that have them --> http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWN%3AIT
the stock shocks are not designed to be used with the car lower and will hurt performance

You should be slapped for paying $400 for springs/shocks/struts.
Are they adjustable? If so, ok...If not, WTF!
Get Monroe Sensitracks for a foxbody from Auto Zone for the rears, they work great and are like $15 a piece.
