    I've been reading all over these forums today trying to figure out how I want to lower my '99 GTP. Come to the conclusion of going with the cheaper option with lowering springs. Looking for feedback on which brand is better or any others recommended before I purchase. Not focused as much on how low I can get the car as how much better I can make it ride and handle. Thanks.

    I ran SSC springs from canuck motorsports, they lower it an okay amount and are better than the factory springs.

    the 04+ in sig.....but 97-03 are a little higher in back.
    Check Canuck Motorsports page, they have the front/rear heights for 97-03, 04+ and GXP springs. Take your pic every year is interchangeable.

    Eibachs dunno, I vaguely remember lower than SSC and more harsh.
    I think BIO ran them

    I ran lowering springs on my front end and rear heightening springs for better handling. also keep in mind that when you lower your front end it changes the geometry of the engine/transmission, and your axles could wear faster if that geometry issue is not addressed, as well as potential vibration issues at idle.

    I had vogtland lowering springs on my front end and 2000 olds intrigue springs for my back end. it was a good combination. the intrigue springs are taller and have a faster rebound rate so there is less back end dip in a drag race. I had them all paired with KYB AGX struts that I bought off amazon for like 125 bucks a strut.

    you can use spacers under your motor and transmission mounts to correct the geometry difference.

    yep on those spacers...and pogos just for giggles
    don't forget the strut mounts.
    do it once do it right.
    mine had a wobble until I did the spacers

    Last I saw Vinnie isn't offering them.
    3/8s aluminum stock, top and bottom. His measurements should be easy to find.
    Do them right away with NEW engine and transmission mounts.
    That's a definite , may as well since it's in the air and they are right the fvck there
