Default WHAT TO LOWER MY CAR WITH?

alright, ive posted about this before but i just cant decide. i bought some wheels/tires for my car, and now i wanna get the lowering done when i put the wheels on. My problem is, I don't know what to go with. My wheels are 17" chrome bullits on a silver 02' gt with 275/45 up front and 315/35 in the rear. what springs will give me a nice, noticeable, clean looking drop? I have been thinking H&R super sports, but now im thinking thats alittle too low. please help me.

You can go with the H&R sports? They are 1.5 instead of 2

if 2" is to low do reg h&r or pro-kit which is good for the 1.5 and will still be sign.

I don't want too low either but H&R's may not be enough. I'm doing Super Sports with Bilsteins all around.

2" ftw what size tires are you running or going to run? You want to give it that tucked look as much as possible im assuming?

If your running an 18x9 which you prolly are I would run the 265/35 front and do a 40 profile in back 275/40...I think a 265will look to skinny on the back...do it right the first time kinda of deal ya knowin back it will help to make the car look tucked more and you can do a 2" lowering spring while still having the clearance underneath..sorry to hijack thread Dan
