Exclamation Wheel bearing replacement questions

Hey.. I have 01 gt that I purchased used a year ago which already has some upgrades I am not entirely familiar with. One problem is that I know that both front wheel bearing need to be replaced, however, the vehicle has a upgraded braking assembly from gt to cobra conversion I'm assuming was purchased in some kit online. Will this have an effect on which bearing assembly I should purchase for the vehicle or does the cobra brake conversion not effect the hub assembly? Would I use gt or svt?

Another question I have is I need knew struts in the front, however my vehicle has been lowered by previous owner by cutting the stock ones and I am not entirely certain what height it now sits. What should I purchase that will allow me to ensure the height of the car is the same after installation. Is the ride height just a measurement from the bottom of the car to the ground?.. I cannot allow it to be even the smallest bit lower then it currently sits lol.. Speed bumps are already hell on the cars slp exhaust.

As far as your brake upgrade, that would not affect the spindles so just get bearings for a GT. Pretty sure they would be the same from V6 - GT - Cobra anyway....

New shocks/struts will not affect ride height.
