Looking to lower my 99 GT. Suggestions??


Hey guys I'm looking to lower my 99 GT and i really would like the best ride out of it. I had a car before that I lowered with just springs and the ride sucked. I want to do struts and springs or if there is any kits that anyone knows about. Just wondering what you guys would recommend. Thanks

or possibly some
tein s-techs.

as far as shocks.
koni
bilstein
kyb

they all make good stuff.

edit : i have sportlines on right now with kyb AGX . it dose the job for looks. but im going to coilovers. the lowering springs simply dont do what i need them to

Don't think it will handle like a Lincoln.. lol the ride will be harsher.

I went with Steeda springs and bilstein shocks/struts.

coilovers are a great choice.
always
but when talking coilovers your also talking $$$.
and you need to know a little bit about spring rates.
