H&R flat out make a quality product. You will find far less people unhappy with them then BBK. Look around for sales on them, they price differance wont be as bad.

H&R all the way. That's what I chose and I love the look. I can't speak on how they perform compared to BBK as I've never used BBK.

I absolutely LOVED the stance the H&R SS springs gave my 02 GT. No complaints either. Make sure you get a set of Maximum Motorsports C/C plates so it can be properly aligned.

Oh and buy the best shock/strut you can afford. I had Tokico HPs on mine and it was a little harsh. I rode in one with the same setup, but with Bilsteins and it rode much better.

Either way, it's a huge improvement over stock.
