Ride Question
I apologize up front if this has been answered already. My 06 GT already came lowered from the dealer, w/ 20" wheels. I love the look, but it rides like there are no shocks in it at all, my friends none lowered GT rides nice. Is this just the reality with a lowered car or is there something I can do to make the rider better. Maybe different than stock shocks.
Thanks in advance.

RE: Ride Question
Most would recommend you switch out the stock shocks with aftermarket shocks. Tokico D-Specs seem to be the most popular due thier dampening adjustability. The wheels will always play a part since you dont have that much rubber on your wheels. So maybe switching out your wheels to 18s or 19s plus equipping the D-specs mentioned above will help the rough handling your expierencing now.

RE: Ride Question
I feel your pain (literally). I've posted about this as well. I bought my 05 GT with 20s and thought the ride quality was horrendous. I was almost ready to sell the car after a month. But I used the recommendations from here and bought and installed the Tokico D specs. It is night and day. The jolting bounces are gone. It still rides stiff, but it is much improved for daily driving. I plan to also move to an 18" wheel eventually, which should smooth it out even further and improve acceleration.

RE: Ride Question
No problems with the stock shocks and springs with my 20's ...added the steeds ultralites in the rear and still rides very smooth just a bit stiffer. Nothing for me to complain about though. The D-specs are great and having adjustability is a must...esp if it is your DD
