Just some quick P&S pics when I was on break today. I'm not real happy with the drop. I'm going to give the springs a little more time to settle, but I don't think they will sink anymore.

I think it looks great as is. Lowered, yet still at a good height for a DD.

The springs were rated at 1" front and 1.5" in the rear, but I only have seen about half of that. I suspect it might be because mine is a base GT opposed to a premium GT which weights a little more.

It already has a spare in the trunk.

I've been looking at coil overs, but to do it right I'm going to have to spend more then I want, so I'm likely going to just buy some MM CC plates and either H&R SS or Ultralight springs.

Might as well pull them out and replace them, as it doesnt sound like you will be happy with them. Like I said in my 5.0 thread, I think the look of the wheel/tire combo pulls it off just fine. It has the stance of a Bullitt style car.

Yeah I am going too. I'm trying to decide between upgrading the factory dampeners too, or just skipping all that mess and doing coilovers.
