Default Lowering - Eibach Pro Kit, Tokico D-Spec

I want to lower my 07 GT as well as improve its suspension (eliminate wheel hop). I've spent hours reading about suspensions and CrazyAl's guide on lowering.

My situation is...I only have enough dough to cover the Eibach Pro Kit Springs and Tokico D-Specs. Will this be ok to do even if I don't get the recommendedLCAs, UCAs, PH bar, etc. for now? Will this mess up my car in the long run? I'm a daily driver (not racer). At least not yet.

Again my goal is to lower my car for appearance and get rid of the wheel hop when accelerating over the smallest bumps. Unfortunately, I'm on a budget since I'm also buyingBorla Stingers.

Lower her now and save $$$ for the adj panhard bar, a few months beteen the two won't matter much. You'll probably move faster once you see the disgustingly bad tow in angle.

I did mine last month.
D-Specs
Eibach Pro kit
Adj panhard bar
camber bolts.
and then the subsequent front end alignment check. I tried to get it back exactly but the dealer told me that the right side required a tad bit of camber adj.
I'm very very happy with how the looks and ride turned out.

Good luck

I'd spend the money on the suspension first. Mufflers only make it louder.
