I'm lower than most other stangs out there and I daily drive my car. I'd say my setup is at the same level as H&R's without isos and I take speed bumps fine. Just cant go flying over them at all.

That's about what I figured. Just measured the gap today, and its 3.5 in both front and back 
. A 2 inch drop would be perfect IMO. I was def gonna bight on the H&Rs but they are out of stock on AM. So much for that idea lol. Guess I'll have to look around for deals.

The prokit is designed to be used with OEM shocks/struts, keep that in mind if you're looking to spend as little as possible.
Honestly, another piece of the suspension people forget about is the front control arms. The bushings wear out around 100k, and will produce a lot of noise.
If noise is your concern, than I would not suggest coilovers, like I normally do.

I have a 1996 GT just like you. I was interested in what the Prokit looks like. Do you have the isolaters installed or not? Any pics of the GT with the Prokit installed? I see you also have an STi, did you lower that yet? A friend of mine has an STi and was looking into lowering it.
