Hello all. My first thread! Looking for a little guidance. Looking to lower my 08 Gt a bit. I want to still have very good ride quality and it not be a ruff ride. I don’t need a spring that is built for racing and not ride quality. This is just a cruiser that is able to merge quickly on the highway.

I know Steeda and KYB have combos with springs, struts, and shocks but not sure about others. What do you think would be best for Good ride quality? Either of those work? Anything else I need?

I’ve always used eibach pro kit for that type of daily driving keeping that stockish feel but giving an aggressive look.

BMR's linear rate springs are nice, I have them on my car. They ride way better than the progressive Ford Racing ones I had on it originally.

I have the Eibach lowering kit on my 05 GT. One of the springs cracked somehow, but no issues once I replaced it. Mine is a daily driver, so it looks aggressive but rides pretty nice as mentioned above.
