Default Help Lowering

I well i have a 00 GT and i wanna lower it, but i dont want those eibach, i want to be a little bit lower... like almost no gap space from the fender to the wheel i have looked everywhere but haven't seen a suspension that goes this low...even the coil springs from eibach only go to 2.5... well i have seen a lot 03-04 cobras REALLY low.. i dont want it that low... just so that theres no gap space... btw i plan on lowerin it with 17 stock gt rims... might upgrade later on to saleens so an adjustable suspension would be nice thanks.

thats more than enough.....any more and yourhandling will actually suffer from poor suspension geometry. i dont even want to think about ride quality. []

and if that isnt low enough for you and you want to tear up your car and make it ride crappy....you could always look into air bags like the mini truck crowd, they can lay theirs on the frame and make sparks fly driving down the road...
