Now that I have 20" wheels on my GT, It looks like I need to go ahead and lower it.
I am thinking 1" in front and 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" in rear.
At this point, I just want to do springs.
Looking for ones that will drop it without making the ride too harsh...
Thoughts???
Thanks!!

Stage 3 is who I am dealing with. They have been pretty good to me so far! Originally Posted by tsuckley

its stiffer than the stock springs, thats for sure.. so with them and the skinny 20's, you can feel most every bump in the road.. but at 90... who cares
other than that.. i am very happy with them.

I thought there would be a big difference in feeling the bumps going from the 17's to the 20's but it didn't seem to bad. Of course I only was out for about a 15 min ride on saturday.

Update... I finally got the Roush lowering springs on! When I got done I was like "Did it even lower it?"... But I had measured the fender height before and after so I do know it dropped an inch all around. It may not be as low as some people like theirs but I like it.
