I have some nice H&R race springs if interested, these ran me 260 from AM I ran them for 4 weeks, it drops the car 2 inches. Let me know if interested, these are great springs just too low for MA roads, oh and I ran them on a 2005 V6 convertible no issue.

While they probably aren't the best springs on the market, I don't think you'd have any problems with them. Moss Muscle is having a major liquidation sale, which is why they are so cheap. Is $69 worth giving it a shot?...Well that depends on if $69 is chump change to you.
That's definitely tempting me personally, as my suspension is coming up on 9 years old and starting to squeak like crazy.

Can always look around for take offs, I just got a full 2011 GT500 suspension, 10 miles on it as the car got shipped out to Shelby for a Super Snake conversion, got shocks struts springs front and rear sways and brackets LCA /UCA and bumpstops for $250, totally improved the ride.

Nope, the only reason I had issues was because of the x-brace frame brace under the car which cost me an inch and the low profile 17's I ran, 240-40-17 Contis, so I would occasional scrape but if I had my stock tires or my 18's I was ok, most people arent running frame braces so on a relatively stock setup these are fine as long as you have better shocks. I ran Tokico D-specs then. The ride itself I would compare to the stiffness of a Steeda Sport spring, very tight but not painfully so. No plans to autocross the new car so these are just sitting in the box waiting for a good home.

I would check out CDC, they have springs that will lower your GT 1" and they are only $75. Here's the link:

I bought them and they are pretty good, no complaints.
