That drop looks great.
I think the next biggest visualimpact you could make is to tint the windows.

Wow, I didnt think the C springs dropped it that much. Ive seen some pics of people saying they put C springs on and got virtually nothing out of it. What shocks/struts are you running? I've been wanting to do the C springs, but didnt think they gave that good of a drop..

I didn't think it would be that low either. Maybe because it's a 99, they sit higher in the front stock.
Ilove them though. They ride 10 times beter than stock, I also can notice difference in handleing at high speeds.
As far as the rest of the suspention goes it's stock. That's why I went with the C springs. They will lower the car without doing anything else.
Did you know that the stock brake pads on a 99 gt are ceramic? When Idid the springs I replaced the front pads. At least I saved a little money, I didn't need an alinment because wejust split the front ball joints and lowered the swing arm to get at the spring.(also had to unbolt the sway bar )
Thanks for the comments.Any suggestions on the stripes?
