just installed steeda sport springs on my 01. just about an inch or inch & 1/4 drop so far, will it drop any farther once they are broken in a bit, or is this pretty much all i'm gonna get w/out removing isolators? do springs really settle after a couple of weeks? will post some pics tomm.

Springs will definately settle more over the next 2-4 weeks. How much will vary though. Anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 an inch in normal.

Yes Dave on your 01 they are most likely at 1"-1.25" and
will settle Dave from 1"-1.25" - 1.5" in about two weeks
too a month.Good choice on the Steeda Sport springs
they always make for a great drop!

You weren't kidding when you said yours was "a real 4x4". That does look higher than usual. Looks ALOT better now. Nice stance.

Hey guys, I'm in the market for a set of new springs for my 01 GT also. I was planning on going with Steeda too. But I wasn't sure on which type of spring. Should I get the sport springs or the competition springs? I totally want to get rid of that dreaded 4x4 look! I don't want to the car always be bottoming out over every little bump though. I was just wondering what your opinions were and if anybody has the competition springs.

do not remove the isolators. when i put mine on, i wanted a lower stance so i got rid of mine. now, i hear grinding over bumps due to the metal on metal. bad idea, because it is a pain to put them on, much less get the initiative to drop your suspension to fix something that you are already satisfied with.
