Well, my Canuck Motorsports lowering springs arrived today. Installation is tomorrow or Friday! Lowering is 1.75" front / 1.75" rear. This should take care of the wheel gap.:)

Wow, thats gonna be some drop. Plan on getting some low profile tires? And here I was worried about buying the Eibach pro kit and only lowering it 1.2". Pics, please.

I had the springs installed today. I took some pics, form Before and After. It's snowing in NYC today, so two of the pics show the White Stuff.

Amazing. Yeah get some full body shots. Hmm, I may be inclined to get an intake and then drop my car(with the Eibach kit) before doing a dual exhaust setup. Looks nice

Nice new ride height. Looks 10X better.

Keep us updated on handling improvements and clearance issues.

How does it ride now?

How does it ride now? The car has a firm, but controlled ride. The car's cornering ability is improved and it handles the bumps well. No harshness at all.

Hmm, so how much did you spend on the springs? Im thinking of lowering my GT within the next 3 weeks. Mainly waiting for another paycheck so Im not left dirt poor. Hah, but yeah. Im thinking about getting the Eibach kit. Its only lowering 1.2"(F&B) though. The hefty 230$ is quite steep(+ install)

Not bad. But the 1.75 drop is what scares me. I didn't want to mess with a drop greater then 1.5". The one thing I do hate though is that no site can keep how big of a drop the springs do. Some say the Eibach kit does 1.2 while others say 1.3. Wierd... I saw some H&R lowering springs I kinda liked. 1.5" front 1.3" in the back.

If you want a drop that 'just right'', H&R is the way to go. A 1.75" drop may be a bit too much for most people. ;)
