Looking to get Eibach Sportlines, paired up with Koni STR.T Shocks & Struts. This is for my 95 GT. I know the ride will be a lot more firm and sporty than this stock Caddy like ride lol. I won't need CC plates if I got a 4 wheel alignment right? Idc if the wheels are a little off in the front. Don't really have the extra $150-200 plus the cost of a 4 wheel alignment. These springs should leave a small amount of wheek gap right? Riding on 17x9 Saleens, 245/45/17s on all 4 corners.

I'd love to run H&R SS's, Koni STR.T Shocks & Struts, but would definitely need C/C plates right? Eibach Pro Kit still leaves wheel gap, I don't really want any. My mechanic said I could drop it 2'' that I have enough clearance. Only thing holding me back is the C/C plates, gotta see if he could do em.
I'm going with the H&Rs.. To me it makes no sense to buy the Eibach Pro kit for a small drop and still have a bunch of wheel gap. H&R's will get rid of almost all the wheel gap, and I checked maximum motorsports site. They recommend the Koni STR.s for the H&R springs so that's good, and plus they have the best price out of everyone so I'll get the springs and shocks/struts from them.
The pro kit gives you a pretty good drop, at least it did on my fox. I didn't want to go too low, and even now my x pipe scrapes at a few places. I didn't measure the drop but I used to be able to fit my fist between the rear wheel and the top of the wheel well, but now it is more like a finger. The right side of my car sits a little higher though because I don't sit there all the time, lol. I had more pics when I lowered it but I lost them when my laptop shit the bed. Here's the best pic I have from the side.
I like the way they looked tucked up on SN95 bumpers. I'd do a Bassani X but mines an automatic, they only fit manuals, so I'll get a Pypes o/r X. I can't find any other tailpipes that look good besides some 22'' Long Cherry Bomb tips 3.5'' outlet, but the tails would need to be hacked up and them welded on. Looking to get complete tails so its a 1,2 3 thing.
Find a different brand, Pypes fitment sucks lol. I had an O/R H of theirs for my 06 GT and took it off. The fit was the worst I've ever seen. Quality was ok, but def not the best. Go with an SLP X then. There's is also great encase you decide to buy long tubes as their pipe is built in sections so you don't have to have it cut later on or buy another mid that's shorter. Kind of helps save money.
