I'm wanting to put 18 inch cobra r's on my gt, I've been looking at springs, what else do i need to drop it correctly? Or will springs do it fine. The eibach springs say 1.2 to 1.5 inch drop.

you might be fine to get a alignment, if not you will need c/c plates. also ive been told the stock shocks/struts will not be able to handle much of a drop so you might need those. my buddy has the prokit on his 02 gt and has had it on there for a while, he needs c/c plates but he says his shocks/struts are fine.

If you keep it under 1.5" you should be ok without CC plates- but there have been a few people that need them for a proper alignment. Like MVR said you may end up needing some better shocks and struts after some time. Other than that you should be fine.
