Default What should I Do?

I have my 04 gt set up just about the way I want it (fully forged motor, vortech s-trim 10psi, and just about all the bolt ons). I currently have some cheap 2" lowering springs that I stuck on there just to get a better stance but they suck. I am trying to decide what to do about suspension. I have never really made it this far to where good suspension is a must. This is my daily driver that will see the track about once a month. Would like to get your opinion on which springs/kit will work best for me. Thanks

I'd suggest a good set of shock/struts (I ordered some Bilsteins today ...), camber/caster plates, and either eibach or bbk springs. A bumpsteer kit would be a good investment as would some steeda X-2 ball joints. You could go coil-overs, but they lack the durability of the Bilsteins (lifetime warranty, a bit pricey, but worth it, IMHO.)

Just my opinion, with this and $3 you can get a beer at happy hour. Your mileage may vary ...

also... look into a k member kit or something like a panhard bar... these can help out in the straights. also lower control arms.

It depends on what track your talking about. If its the dragstrip then then get upper and lower control arms, a good set of shocks and struts and as for the lowering springs they all suck *** for drag racing but if you are more worried about looks then go with eibach. If you want the hit the cornors then get lower control arms, panhard bar and coilovers all the way around. Leave the stock upper control arms for the turns to avoid binding from stiffer bushings. A good K member kit with coilovers is a good idea for either set up.
