Default Quick Question.

If I wanted to lower my 2004 GT with H & R Race Springs would I need anything else since I'm lowering it or should it be fine?

Normally when you lower you car, it will put more stress on your shocks/struts. I know alot of people go with some sort of adjustable struts when they lower their cars. If you get a big enough drop, you will need CC plates! I have about a 2 1/4" drop and went with strange 10 wy adjustable struts and a set of CC plates!

Lance how big of a drop did you go with? I want a nice noticeable drop but not something that is going to scratch my car up everytime I hit a speed bump or try and go up a steep driveway..

D&D Full front tubular suspension, Upr steel 3 bolt caster camber plates, and the strang 10 wy adjustable seem to work pretty good! The good thing about coil overs is that they are adjustable, which means i can lower it or raise it anytime i want with a turn of wrench!

Mine is about 1.6 all the way around with the H&R sport springs.Don't have that big of a problem with the drop but you do have to slow down for speed bumps and a steep driveway but alot of it is because of the Chin spoiler sitting so low.

did you guys get your car aligned afterwards? I waited until I got new tires put on and then I did it immediately after, but they said it wasn't even that bad /shrug
