I have a pair of eibach springs in my 2000 gt. The car just doesn't sit low enough in the front. If I want to go down another inch how much of the coil spring should I cut, one full coil? By doing so I believe Im going to need a caster camber kit.

Actualy looks lower now in person. That was right after the install. Now they (the springs) have settled.

Give it about a month to fully settle. I wasn't 100% happy immediately after the install, but I am happy now.

Pulling out the isolaters will give you another 1/2 in drop, on top of the drop you all ready get from the pro kit?

It's just me but I can't see cutting coils... Seems like you're wastin' money and undermining what you were going for in the first place: better handling with a lower ride height...

Funny how some of you guys are taking out the isolators to lower the car more where as I will be putting in Prothane isolators hoping to raise my H&R Super Sports a bit when I install them. Guess we're never happy

I bought mine brand new off e-bay but lots of guys on this board recommend this place for the best price. Oh and I don't have any pics yet because they aren't installed yet. Just received my isolators along with shocks and c/c plates so as soon as they fill up some of the holes on our roads, they're going in
. I will post as soon as they're installed.http://howbarmotorsports.com/cgi-bi...Product_Code=5165877.ORW368&Category_Code=M14
its it neccesary to get new shocks/struts if i am going to install an eibach pro kit, i did it before on my v6 and i didnt seem to have any probs for bout a year. now i have a 99 gt and i want to do it again but just wondering if i really need shocks and struts if i never take it to the strip

go 18-19 inch wheels
Get bigger wheels and it will look better, the eibach should be low enough for aggressive street driving, I have 18 inch chrome cobra R's and they make my stang look alot better, they are wider so it also improves traction

You might. I was wondering the same thing when I lowered my car. So far my stock struts/shocks seem to be ok, but it does ride just a tad bit bouncy on uneven pavement. I suppose I will change out the struts when I have some free cash and time to blow. It's too bad my tax dollars don't take care of all the potholes and bumps around here
