Default Lowest ride possible...

well maybe not the lowest, but i want my car low. no gap between the fenders and the wheels at all. i know that ride quality suffers but it's not my daily driver so that doesnt matter. so my question is what brand of springs can give me the lowest ride? i've seen so many cobras that have the look that i want, but not many gt's ride that low. also, what about shocks/ struts?

my car is already lowered right now but not as low as i'd like for it to be.

Get coil overs if you want the lowest ride possible as someone stated already. However your car will sound like crap after the coil overs..I know mine does.

If you go with the Eibach Sportlines it will drop it 2 inches all the way around.With the right tire and wheel setup it will look slammed for sure.

H&R SuperSports would be your best bet. They are pretty stiff though. They are more made for road track use over a daily driver.

The H&R supersports are pretty good. The only time it sucks is when you go over a huge bump, like when going over a bridge. That is the only time that my rearend jumps a bit. Other than that I'm happy with mine. I wouldn't get anything different. And they make the car look sweet as hell.
