Default Stock Mach1 Suspension

Just curious how many of you have suspension work done on the car. My GT's height is getting annoying and I'm not looking for a huge drop (just wanna clear my driveway). I really like how the Mach1 sits and was wondering if anyone can chime in with some advice and perhaps part numbers for springs, shocks and struts. Thanks!

I think you'd be better off going with an aftermarket spring like the h&r ss springs! They drop about 3/4 of an inch more than the stock mach springs and sit real nice!

I would do FRPP C Sprigns if you want a smaller drop. You won't need CC plates with them either.

I had thought about doing a drop, but I already seem to drag the mufflers on speed bumps. then again I'm over 200 lbs..

i know a lot of guys on here will push H&R, but i prefer the ride quality of Eibachbetter. IMOits basically a trade off of what is more important to you. H&R will give you a nicer stance but slightly less comfortable ride, while Eibach will lower less, but give a smoother ride. hope this helps you make a better choice for what is right for you.
