20's with or without lowering

Hey guys I have an 06 GT that I want to put 20 inch Saleen wheels on. Just found out my struts need to be replaced and was thinking of lowering it. Any thoughts on whether I should or should not and if so how much do I lower it? this car will be for Car Shows & track days only not a daily driver.

I say lower it. I have 2O" which I daily drive on and pretty low. Just make sure you get an adjustable panhard bar to ensure your rear is centered.

Lower it. It looks 100x better. Plus you need to pull the springs out to change out the struts.

A great opportunity . At least the front springs could be done with the new struts and save some labour costs. The backs are easy and can be done by you.
