    97-08 share about 95% the same suspension.

    Swar bars, lowering springs, new struts, new control arms, trailing arms are about only thing that are really worth upgrading.

    04- some 06 have a different lca so the sway bar upgrade isn't possible unless you swap the lcas. I have speedbuilt sways on my comp g

    So are we saying that 97-03 lowering springs will fit an 07 GT?

    I've found a few other sources that say they'll sit even lower on an 04+ - do you have experience with this happening?
