i want to lower my 99 gt convertible about 1.75-2.0 inches. what springs are best and what else should i get as far as correct tire wear and all that? caster camber plates?

i will also be getting some 18x9 saleen black rims if it makes a difference.

i recommend you, H&R SS springs, IMO they are better than sportlines, which also offer a good drop. if you don't plan on using your isolaters make sure you wrap both ends of all four springs with duct tape. cc plates will also be need along with some new shocks and struts.

that is all.

this is 2 towards H&R supersports. still leaves a great ride quality also.

Sportlines are the only springs I would ever use. Good drop plus a good spring rate.

Here is a pic of my wifes 01 gt vert with sportlines.

what are isolators? do they come with the springs? do i need the caster camber plates? are new shocks and struts really necessary? never done a drop before obivously.

isolators are the rubber thing the spring sits on, to prevent marring[metal-2-metal contact]. caster camber plates are neccesary if you lower more than 1.5. shocks and struts, aren't really needed but will get you a better comfort ride than the stock shocks.
isolators dont come with springs they're on you car already.

oh ok cool. thanks for the help guys. i guess ill go with the h&r super sport springs, reuse the isolators and get caster camber plates.

I never had to upgrade the cc plates on my wifes car. I used camber bolts to correct the alignment. Runs perfect.
