Here's the deal, I dropped my car 2" with the DropZone lowering springs. I love the way the car sits and it rides great on flat roads. Then I installed my new exhaust system and the new pipes hang lower. That causes the car to bottom out on a rough road and in pot holes. Also, since installing the new springs the car seems to bounce around a good bit on bumpy roads.

Before I make a fool out of myself, would a stiffer suspension help my problem? What exactally would I need? I heard that just putting springs on the stock struts would make the car a bit bouncy so I looked into different struts. I was looking at the saleen ones because I drove the saleen s281 and it felt pretty good to me but I figure I would post ont he boards and see what you guys had to say.

So what would be the cheapest way to make the suspension stiffer? I'm a little tight on money after my thousand dollar bill today for all of my install work I had done

Thanks in advance

What do you mean? What was it about the ride that you preferred over yours? If you can give a good descriptive answer to that,people here could better help you.

The ride in the saleen just seemed more stable when going over bumps and cornering. Sorry for the lack of details, don't really know how to describe it properly.

I mainly just want to loose the bouncy ride.

part of the reason is its a completely different setup than the stock gts and also they are not dropped 2 inches. buy some dspecs and that will help the ride....as for bottoming out, you are dropped 2 inches....that isnt going to change really...

I'm slowly learning to live with the sound of metal dragging over pavement haha

I am lowered 1.5" and I have never come close to having anything scrape. Not over speed bumps or anything.

lucky you, I have to endure the sound just about every time I go up my driveway, oh well

Wait till you have had itfor a couple of years the springs seem to settle more. I recently changed the rear sportlines which is 2" toa1-1/2" drop because of the one piece DS rubbing. You should definitely get a set of D-specs they will make the ride much more bearable. My exhaust has not scraped since the change over.
