Default ALL MY PARTS ARE IN!!

Well guys, everything has arrived now to put on my 97gt in the spring!

2.5 cowl hood
Cobra front bumper
Hood pins
FR500 silver rims (10.5 in back, 9 upfront)
Tires (315s and 245s)
Blue oval industry headlights and fog lights
Brushed aluminum fuel door
Stainless steel bumper inserts
Simco silver gauges
Shorty antenna
Paint coming in april!

Now i want to get some springs to lower it a little bit, sits way to high. What is a good brand of lowering springs to get?

Thanks, Mike

going to look like a whole new car... feels good having everything just sitting in your house waiting for spring huh?

as for springs, get the lowest ones H&R SS would look nice..

EDIT- but anything over 1.5 drop is going to need CC plates.. so that will be an added expense

Nice list, that's really going to be a huge visual upgrade for the car.

Springs are just a matter of opinion... there are a bunch of types out there, it depends on the amount of drop you want.

Feels awesome walking into my garage everyday just seeing everything waiting for me!

As for the springs, do you have a good site to get those from? I would like to get about a 1 inch drop so i dont need the cc plates.

Almost forgot, 4.10s are in too!

Must be nice to see all those parts at one time laying there. For springs AM is probably the best place to get them. If your going with 17's I think the sportline or supersports would look good. What color is the car?

I went with the 17s just because of the price of tires for 18s. The car is getting painted black.

I get most of my stuff from AM so ill do that then, thanks!
