Default Which Lowering Springs are everyone using?

Hey everyone,

I am ordering a bunch of parts this weekend and wanted to lower the car as well. What brand are people going with? Any regrets? Suggestions or so on? Let me know a good choice guys. Not sure if it matters, but '06 GT convertible.

Thanks,

Nick

eibach pro kit, for me - i love it! and the pro kit is probably the most universally recommended set of springs on this board, though there are certainly other viable options as well.

I only lowered the rear to level it, I used Roush springs. I like them a lot

I just got done installing the Steeda sports and for some reason it seems to have lowered it much more than I expected in the rear. I am currently having a slight bumpstop rub issue. Mine is a vert also. If I can't find a sensible solution, I may try the Roushes on the rear and see what happens.....

I used the Tein S-Tech springs, but I'm not sure if they work with the vert or not...they lowered my car to what I consider the perfect height...

I went with the steeda ultralites, very happy.No matter which you choose,just make sure the front sway bar links are very tight.

Here is a very good read, if you haven't already seen it!
