I need to know if anyone knows the stock height. I have low profile tires and I want to lower the car but I dont want it to be too low. The car has original springs. I know they are shot so the car is lower than stock.
88 GT
Any help would be great.

If you want to lower your car, you can look into getting some FRPP springs. They lower the car the least amount, thus not screwing up your caster / camber.

Stock springs shouldn't wear out... only the shocks / struts.

Thanks but I wanted to know the stock ride height.
Old springs DO wear out and sag. My car is not the same height as it was 17 years ago, I asure you. I have had this problem before on a few cars. After the new spring install the car rode about 2-3 inches higher. Just dont know how shot these springs are.

I was not talking about HOW these cars feel and handle, but 8" high on 35's are exactly how these cars feel. The handling is pure crap and the ride quality even worse.
