I have an 02 GT w/ 48000 miles. If i get lowering springs would i need to get new shocks at the same time? Which Springs should i get?

Negative, depends how low of a drop you want. There have been a lot of threads lately about springs, I suggest prowling around and reading.

This has been covered many times. You don't NEED to necessarily get new shocks and struts, because your existing ones will still work, the only downside is that they will wear down faster. Some have said that when there are passengers in the backseat, its a little sketchy.

If you do a somewhat mild drop (less that 1.25" overall) you could probably get away with buying springs only. Any more than that and I would recommend some additional supporting hardware, such as caster/camber plates and bumpsteer kit at a minimum. Those things will help with restoring your front end geometry. And again, if the drop is somewhat mild, you probably don't need to replace your shocks and struts. I did a 2" drop about 2.5 years ago (keep in mind my car is not daily driven, and has only seen about 20K miles since then), without replacing my shocks and struts. Ride quality has remained quite decent for the most part, but definitely gets a little choppy if I've got an adult passenger in the backseat.

Thanks for all the info.

you sacrifice ride quality overall.. but thats just how it goes if you wanna lower it. I lowered mine, and i need to get caster camber plates so when i get the front re-aligned they can adjust everything back to normal.. stock CC plates dont have enough adjustment.

i did shocks at the same time. i did a tokico kit that had springs, shocks and struts. rides very well now. id recommend doing them at the same time - your already under the car and have to undo some of the bolts anyways!
