She's only got 150 miles on her but is looking much better IMO.
Installed the Eibach springs, 255/50/17 Fuzions (cheap but only stop gap until more 18 inch rims are available) and JBA axle back exhaust.
Springs feel great. Stifter but still a very nice ride. Lower about an inch to inch and half.
JBA sounds great tool

Which eibach springs did you put on pros or sportsline?
Looks very nice, I almost went with the white myself but ended up with Redfire.

Looks awesome!!
Where did you purchase the springs? Any issues with needing any suspension upgrades to comphensate for the lowering springs?
How does the JBA sound?
Congrats, it looks really great.

Thanks for all the great feedback.
Bought the springs from shox.com. Awesome customer service.
Ride is a bit stiffer than stock but not harsh by any stretch. Suspension feels much better. Alignment actually was improved. About -1 negative camber in front and zero toe. Sharpens the turn in nicely.
JBA exhaust is nice. Had the stock on for just about an hour and felt it was way too tame. I had the JBA so we went ahead and put it on. Even if the sound wasn't great (which it is) the tips just look a lot sexier.
Overall, this is an incredible car for $25K+. I have an E46 M3 which cost twice as much. Is it nice? Does it handle? Sure. But, the GT has got the be the best thing to come out of Detroit in years. Ahhh the torque!!!
BMW are you listening???
Here's a pic of the M3

Yes yes YES - THAT is the stance/ride height I am looking for..... SWEET!!!
I had already planned on the Eibach kit but now I am glad I did. Yours looks GREAT. ( I also plan on bumping up to 18 inch wheels <Bullitts> when they are available).
How much was installation on the spring kit???....
