I have Steeda lowering springs on my 02 GT and I'm fairly happy with the stance. I like how the front sits, but the rear sits a little high. No unsual wear either.

The white wheels look sharp, but I don't see the difference in height. Maybe it's the angle. I have a set of DropZone springs (2" drop) waiting in the basement. I also have the offset rack bushings from Ford for the steering rack. I hope to get those on in the next couple of weeks. My buddy sold me all that for $100. He's used them in the past and says they are nice and the ride quality is near stock (the springs are progressive rate). I'll do some before and after shots and post how the installation went, as well as if I like it or not. I do worry about bottoming out and such.

Those of you worried about shocks/struts, but don't want to spend a lot:

A cheap alternative to aftermarket shocks/struts are fox body shocks/struts. The shocks are longer therefore they allow more travel and work better with lowering springs.

This is not the best route though. If you have the money and are willing to spend it, get some nice adjustable ones.

I went with steedas comp springs on the front along with bilsteins front struts for cobra; steeda bumpsteer kit and x2 ball joint; front tubular sway bar with billet sway bar brackets and 3pt strut tower brace and 4bolt alum cc plates. In the rear i went with steedas sport springs and bilstein hd shocks; steeda weight jacker billet lc arms and their alum uc arms and rear adj sway bar.

i just finished my install today. i went with the eibach sportlines and the MM (maximum motorsports) 4-bolt camber/caster plates. so far it looks like the car is lowered about an inch or so, it should settle a little more. also the MM plates had pretty bad instructions but if anyone needs help installing these or their springs, feel free to PM me anytime.

HTH
pics coming soon
