Steeda Ultralites springs. So far I'm digging them. Slightly stiffer ride, but quite civilized.

Here is the before height (fronts) measured from the ground around 29 1/16"



Here is the after standing around 27 15/16"

Are there any lowering kits that do NOT affect ride stiffness?

I may order a GT in January. If I do, I'd really like to close up that wheel gap a bit. But for the driving I'm going to do (long freeway commutes), I don't want a ride any stiffer than it already is.

i have Vogtland springs, and the ride is very nice. they are a progressive rate spring, so unless you are hard cornering, you dont really notice the difference. very nice spring, IMO. progressive rate springs get stiffer as they compress, so normal driving is fine.

Very nice. Just low enough to make everything look like it fits perfectly together. I might have to do that to mine.

I wish I would have thought to measure mine before lowering so I could see how much difference it made. I have the Pro-kit and it measures 26 7/8 front and 27 5/8 back. I really like the stance of your car.
