Not the best pics, but you can kinda tell the difference. Rides nice.

Very nice.

Huge improvement. Makes the wheels look bigger.

Looks good. Did you do anything else besides the springs? CC plates? GT500 parts? Struts? Etc? I want to lower mine but I'm being cheap and only want to buy springs.

The 11-12's don't use the GT500 tophats. I bought them, and they aren't compatible. I did get an adjustable panhard bar though. Everything else was aligned within spec.

Sweet, thanks!

Very nice! Have you noticed a handling difference, or was it purely aesthetic?

 

[MoshpitMad]

Mostly aesthetic. A little firmer. If I had the cash, I would've sprung for a set of firmer struts and sways as well.

Did you do it yourself? I ordered some springs today and I'm wondering where to find all the torque specs. Also, anybody know if there is any TTY hardware on any of the suspension parts?

^Cool shot!

Took these last night(also added black 5.0 badges):

HACHACHAAA! That looks positively brilliant! I love the setting, too. Platinum.

 

[LarsD]

Looks real good. Even rolling on stockers.

 

[MoshpitMad]

Thanks. Next is rims/tires for sure.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I'm looking to buy these too. All you did were springs and panhard bar? No shocks or struts? I read somewhere these springs (I think on americanmuscle) that these frpp springs required something for the newer 11-12's gts for a proper install

That's what I was informed of too. They told me I needed GT500 tophats. It's not true. If you go aftermarket struts, then you need the aftermarket tophats.

Ok thank you for clarifying. Guess I'll go ahead and make the purchase
