lol yeah i'm not trying to have a monster stang here lol!! I'm going down not up with this upgrade.. Just messing with you! If I buy these ebay roush lowering springs from the listing above can I adjust the height of my car or do you just put the springs in and that is what height you get?

stock gt springs are and absolute no. yea with the roushes you will have no problems just replacing the springs. now with like eibach sportlines that offer a 2" drop you would have to do some replacing. basically a 1.5" drop or less you can just replace the springs

I have 18s on my v6 and lowered it 2.5" in the front no problem. Just keep the overall revs/mile ratio the same. Go to tirerack.com, look up the spec chart on your OEM tire size, then find a 18" tire that has similar revs/mile. For example, my stock tires were 15/205/65, revs/mile was 810, i think. New tires are 18/245/40, which yields 812 revs/mile, a negible difference. Point is your overall diameter (rims + tires) for 15" rims and 18" should be the same.

I lucked out with random ebay springs,$95 shipped for the whole set. You need more than just the springs. Will need new shox/struts, ball joints to correct steering geometry, CC plates, bumpsteer kit, and alignment. Wakeperformance.com has good deals on all the steeda stuff, same parts, just cheaper. For shox/struts, you can just use monroe OEM, which I did for a smoother more comfy ride, but they may go bad quicker since they are not tuned for such a low center of gravity.
