I have an 03 GT, current set up is C springs, Bilstein HD's, and Pro3i CC plates. I have liked the setup and bought all of it back when I was younger and more broke so everything was based on a budget and it being a daily driver. Now it is not a daily driver so I want to go lower,(I actually feel like it looks stock lately) and budget is not a huge deal. Want to purchase some H&R SS, but was wanting to make sure it is going to make the difference I am looking for? Don't want rice grinder slammed, but C springs are way too high now. Any information or opinions would be great. Thanks in advance.

H&R's will definately lower it more than the c springs. How much did the c springs drop your car? I got a full 1 1/2" front and back. I did remove the isolators tho. The H&R's are supposed to drop it 2" I believe.

They are almost impossible to find but I have Kenny Brown springs on my car and they are a 2" drop. I love them. The rates are perfect for autocross. Try Eibach, Kenny Brown is best in my opinion, but with Kenny not back on the market yet..........

I didn't actually measure the drop when I did it. I left the stock isolators in though and would like to do so with the new springs as well. Love Kenny Browns stuff(I have thier subframe connectors, A arm brace and strut brace)but have never heard of their springs? Wouldn't be autocrossing in the near future...just looking for a better stance. Thanks for the info guys, anyone else have any suggestions?

YOMADMIKE your stance is sick. That is what I am looking for. Are those 18x9 18x10 FR500s?

Did the removal of isos make your car noisy when it goes down the road.
