Default Which Springs??

I own a 2002 GT Coupe. I have just ordered 17x10.5 with 315/35 rear and 17x9 with 275/40 front Deepdish Bullitts. I was wondering which springs would make my car look best, but won't give me any rubbing problems. Any advice will help.

Steedas if you like turns, they are a stiffer spring. Eibach if your more into drag racing , they arent as stiff. Both will lower the car about 1.5".

pro kit, the sportline will lower your car about 2" which means you need CC plates(even though it's not a bad idea to get them with any springs)

Why will you need CC plates?

Because the stock plates dont allow you to adjust the caster and camber as much as you would need to.

what he said, even with the 1.5" drop of the prokit, when I went to get my alignment the guy said he had to max out the stock CC plates to get it right

it all depends, i installed a set of sportlines, using the factory struts, and when i took it to get the alignment it was within factory spec with the stock cc plates..but i installed the aftermarket ones anyways since we had them there already..
