Default Aftermarket shocks/struts for GT500?

My friend has an 08 GT500 and wants to lower it and upgrade the shocks/struts. Are there tokico d-specs or anything comparable availiable for the GT500? Would the dspecs for the GT fit on the GT500?

Default RE: Aftermarket shocks/struts for GT500?

The dampers are the same between the cars, but due to the increased weight of a GT500, he'd probably want to run a bit firmer damping.

I sell pretty most ofthepopularthe brands, but more importantly I use what I sell in my day to day life ('07 GT) and when I autox ('07 Shelby GT). I'd only recommend Koni Sports or D-Specs. And I'd recommend Koni's over D-specs. I've changed my cars over, and now run Koni's on both. D-Specs weren't terrible, and betterthan a lot, but Ifind the Koni's to be better dampers, and are built better too.

As for springs, not everyone makes GT500 specific springs, but we carry Vogtland, and they have a kit that's different for the GT500 with it's iron block and Supercharged mass.
