What springs are you guys using? I am about to get a set of springs and new shocks/struts for my GT. Definitely lowering it. Has anyone tried the BBK springs? If they are junk I may just get the sportlines.
FRPP B springs. As close to stock spring rates as you're gonna get with a lowering spring set. Ride was important to me as well as a nice drop.
FRPP C springs and all others I had looked at were much higher in spring rates which translate to a kidney busting ride.
That last point is individually biased. Some people like the rigid ride.
I got Eibach Pro-Kits. A decent enough drop without being so low that I bottom out on everything, which is the main reason I got them. Also, the ride isn't so harsh since they are progressive rate springs.
i just had sportlines installed this morning. Definatly not too low and i LOVE the ride. I was worried my car might look like a lowrider but that really isnt the case at all.
I have BBK springs on my car, I bought it that way so Im not sure if they are progressive or constant. The ride isnt bad, big bumps hurt, but what car thats lowered isnt going to feel a speedbump.
Sportlines with x2 balljoints(no spacer) and one isolator removed from front...
2 1/2" drop in front and 2" in back.
I know Ill get trash talked from some people for it but this weekend Im installing airbag suspension to see if it rides better than now( its a very stiff ride) and so I can lift the body when needed for clearance.
I want to upgrade over time to airride technologies shockwave and airstrut system. View attachment 400091
That's awesome 1TRIKGT, I would love to go with some time of air ride suspension! I saw them do it on HP TV and they loved it! Let me know how it turms out as far as ride and adjustability as well as cost, I am very intersested in seeing it!
Thanx, Ill let you know how it handles and post some pix once I get the car back... we put the kit in fri. night but theres something wrong with the valves so I left the car at the shop and the owners pulling them apart to see whats wrong and fix it.
So far its ran me about $1200 but Im getting digital guages and controls so that will be another $350 through a hook-up(They go for $900 retail)and the shop that I got the kit from put the bags in for me for free... I ran the lines, wired everything up and installed the tank, compressor, and valves a week earlier at home. Ill be very pissed if Im not satisfied with the ride and handling! but Ill have no problem taking the kit off and selling it if I dont like it. I dont want to hijack this thread though so Ill start a new post once I gety the car back.
