blakehunter316 · April 21st, 2008, 10:24 PM

just was thinkin when me and my buddy put some eibachs on his 03 it made it look way better so much cleaner and so on. I was wanderin if my 89 convertible could use some. and does any one have pics of lowered foxs? how bad does it make driveability cause we lowered his about 2.5 in the front and 2 in the back and u really got to watch it when drivin. also i have 3 inch rolled tips since this pic will i clear stuff still ? lol

Depends.

Pro Stock cars are only a couple inches off the ground and there is no lack of traction with them.

Love the analogy, haha.

baine21225 · April 22nd, 2008, 05:13 PM

honestly though, is the sky blue?

STREET6 · April 22nd, 2008, 08:22 PM

I say find springs with 1''- 1.5" drop in front. Max 2". 2" = more scraping obviously. I think Eiback Prokit springs advertise about 1.5" drop and aren't too rough. There are quite a few good springs, just make sure to get ones with progressive rates, not single rates for the street unless you like to be jarred about.

AND you should get some caster camber plates, possibly a bump steer kit and an alignment.
Good looking GT by the way.

ive got eibach sportlines and they are too low for my own taste

saldoggs · April 23rd, 2008, 10:09 PM

it all depends on where you live if the streets suck by you dont lower it but if the pavement is nice they do it but put in new shocks and struts for a lowered car it will really help out the ride
