Yeah, steeda springs are good springs. You can either get CC plates, or just get a front end allignment at your local tire shop.

I have mine lowered and its smart to just go ahead with an alignment after about a week of driving. Just a little caster or camber being off can really wear the tires down to the steel belts if you dont keep an eye on them. I got mine lined.

i'd go with H&R Sport Springs (not the Race Springs) they lower your car a good 1.5'. i've been researching this a lot lately and if your not going with coil covers these are probably the next best thing IMO. this is where you can buy them but they're sorta pricey, i just got the part # off this page for my cobra as you can this for your GT, i'll be getting my springs/18x9 rim/tire combo all in one shot sometime this month.
