lowering question~
 
My 2008 gt bullitt sits on 18x9 (F) and 18X10 (R) with the stock rubbers in the front (235/50Z18) with Nittros out back. I was thinking about dropping her an inch or two. Does anyone know how LOW she can go before rubbing? I was looking at the proline droppers! Whatcha think?:cool:

Applying info i know from 2001 bullitt's.. They already have a GREAT upgraded suspension and the nice cobra breaks and all that. They are also lowered. IF that were true on the new s197 bullitts, I myself would leave the suspension alone.

She does handle well; however, I was just wanting her to look a little lower without having to approach every speedbump wondering if I will bottom out.

Go with 235/45 and you could lower it about an inch to two inches and be fine. I don't recommend proline droppers though.

Horrible quality, and the spring rate is shitty as can be. At least get Eibach's or the FRPP springs even BMR's set is much better for it keeps the variable spring rate keeping the wheel hop out of the way. They'll both give you a much better look and better ride overall.

With upgrading the springs though I'd get new struts and shocks as well as c&c plates to adjust for the lowered set of the car. ESPECIALLY if you go 1.5" lower or more.
