im installing my goldline springs tomorrow. they are 1.5 inch drop and progressive rate. i have new bbk camber plates also, do i need to install them with a 1.5 inch drop?

also , how will a 1.5 inch drop look with my pony wheels with 245/50/16 in the rear and 225/50/16 in the front?

1.5" is a nice drop in my opinion. Any more and your going too far.. i think i may have went a little far with my C springs up front, but i can change them if i don't like the stance after they settle down.

I have the "C" springs on my '86 GT - been on for 11 years. Front is 24-3/4 " ground to center of lip; back is 26" same spot. May be a little low in front but I clear all but the highest speed bumps. I have the pony wheels with the same size as you in front - no problems. No bump stear to speak of and I didn't use CC plates. So far - so good
