Default Safe drop and recommendations

Ive read up alittle on the diff suspensions available. I have an 05GT with the Roush body kit and 18" bullits. Im looking for a nice suspenion kit thatll drop the back alittle more than the front. Thing is i cant drop the front too much because im prob 4-5 inches off the ground as is. What would you guys recommend for a nice suspension pak thatlll minimize the front gettin chewed up? thanks

I was thinking the Saleen kit. Looks like a 1 1/4" drop. Anyone have any input on there Saleen kit?

I saw specs on a Roush kit, they drop roughly the same as the Saleen kit. I have been told that the Roush kit is stiffer than the Saleen kit; Roush kit is meant for a race track while the Saleen kit is meant for something like a LeManns course; so you might have better ride quality with the Saleen kit. I have asked multiple people who own Saleens and they say that they love it even though many other forum members have bashed the kit. I don't know, seems like a good deal for only about$700; I'm sure it's a decent kit just not meant for race track driving.

ya saleen looks nice, i just want it to kill some wheel gap. Not to race or do anything hardcore. My only worry is ive got the roush kit and my front is prob4-5" off the ground now so im hopin the front doesnt drop much more than an inch

Checkout the Steeda sport and ultlalite springs. They have the drop, handlingandride quality you are looking for. I went with the Eibach Pro Kit, but it may be a little lower than you want.

You can get the Roush rear coils only if your looking to drop the back,it really levels out the car.It'll close that wheel well gap.
