Default Front Lowering Spring Question

I have been thinking of installing a set of BBK front lowering springs to get a more of a wedge look for my 04 GT. If I have the springs installed does anything else need to be changed on the front end, shocks, struts, tires,etc???? Also by lowering the front end will that have any effect on the cars handling??

Thank You: Fantor

Only if you go more than 1.5" will you need to worry about doing any other real modifications other than an alignment. If going lower then 1.5" you would have to look in caster camber kit etc but in your case no. It will affect handling some not in a bad way though because your lowering the front of the cars center of gravity but it wont be anything to noticeable thats $.02

Look into getting some FRPP "C" springs.. It gives it that look because the rear springs really aren't that much shorter than stock.

Steeda sells caster/camber plates with their springs that lower the car 1-1.25", so for a 1.5" drop you might not NEED them but you're going to be running more negative camber than stock. It may or may not still be within factory spec.
