Hi all. Proud owner of a 91 GT, I'm usually hanging out in the Fox forum. Have a question concerning dropping my girlfriends 99 GT vert. The only springs i have found for her car are the Eibach pro kit, only worth a 1" drop. I have the sportline series on my car, which gave my car a 2" drop. Is there any other springs she can buy out there that would give her a nice drop to lower the wheel-fender gap?? Thanks.

Buy bigger wheels and use those Einach springs, or I think Kenny brown has some nice suspension stuff.

I believe steeda carries springs for verts. You can run any spring with a vert, it works the same as a coupe. Only reason they specify for a vert is because the rears are usually just a tad stronger due to the extra weight on the back.

Eibachs should give around 1.25" drop.

Ford alphabet springs will work also. C springs or B springs were what I was going to do before I got a set of Eibachs.

Also the Steedas.

How much lower is the Bullitt than regular GTs. I want to lower it but it already is somewhat. I want it to be a little lower though...

way overpriced and you can get the same performance elsewhere.

usually a bullit is about 3/4" lower in teh front and maybe 1/2" in the rear.

Also as far as springs, check with http://www.maximummotorsports.com for H&R's. I believe they have a vert version as well as the coupe.
