Lowered the 5.0

I'm running the Steeda Sport Springs and Koni STR.T's.

The springs will settle a bit more, but I'm very happy with the ride height and even more impressed with the ride quality.

I like these Koni's much better than the Tokico D-Specs I have on my '05.

Here are a few pics from my iphone4:

Lookin' good! I had that exact setup on my 2007 GT (I had Steeda HD stut mounts) and I loved the ride quality and handling. These mods are probably next on my list.

The Koni's were $380 shipped. Strano has them on sale right now even cheaper. The springs are about $250. Panhard bar was $118.

I install my own parts, so I couldn't tell you how much it'd cost.

Spend a few hundred bucks on a 150+ piece tool set and a floor jack and jack stands. It'll pay for itself quickly in what you'll save in labor.

It rides amazingly! I love it more than my '05 with Tokico D-Specs and Steeda Sport springs.

Nice and tight!
