i bought 2 in. drop springs for my 2000 gt do i need a different style shock&strut other than stock or will the travel be fine i don't want to bottom out

 

you SHOULD be fine as long as u dont take corners wildly....if u like to take agressive corners then u will need to get some shocks and struts....

 

with 2 in drop springs i would def replace shocks/struts. With the higher spring rate the stockers are likely to blow out, better off doing it right the first time. also with that much drop you will need c/c plates to align

 

First, 2" is a very aggressive drop. I don't recommend going beyond 1.5" unless you get a bumpsteer kit and caster camber plates. You'll need them both to keep tire wear and handling within reasonable limits. At 2" drop you'll have extra tire wear on the insides since you won't be able to dial the camber anywhere close to normal.

You should definitely use upgraded struts and shocks. Tokico Illumina's are nice, so are Koni. I prefer Bilsteins myself as they deliver the most reasonable ride for me.

Maximum motorsports CC plates are the best there are. Pretty much everyone agrees on that. Competition engineering, strange, MM, steeda, UPR, etc.. all make decent bumpsteer kits. You'll need to have your bumpsteer measured to get them set dead on but there's a rule of thumb in most instructions to get a baseline setting.

Enjoy.
