Lowering Springs

Post by Guest on May 4th 2010, 10:47 am

What do you guys suggest I buy for my 03 GT? I want to lower it a little, maybe 1.5", not a huge drop, want to save some ride comfort. Also will need to do struts at the same time, what should I get for those?

Tokico, but they are pricey.

I plan on going with the D-spec, but they have some cheaper versions and not so adjustable ones.

Tokico Blues or the new KONI STR.T struts....... They are in the 250-330 range. There is no reason why you would need to do the 700 dollar D-spec shocks and struts.

Just get a set of the Eibach springs, they seem to be a good choice, just stay AWAY from the sportline series!

I was just looking at those on American Muscle. Price isn't really the issue, I want a smooth ride and durability. Don't want to have to do it again for a while.

D-Specs run about 570 for the kit, Blues about 320, have to figure the price against the life of the strut. I dont mind paying more if they will last longer and give me a better ride.
