Oh yeah, and it will RUB LIKE CRAZY too.<br /><br />If I were you, I would go with Steeda, BBK, Eibach, or H&R.<br /><br />If you want better ride, go progressive, if you want better handling, go with specific rate. Also make sure you get springs for a V8 Convertible, or else it might look a little weird. <br /><br />Last but not least, I wouldn't even recommend getting some springs right now unless you can afford some GOOD shocks + struts, which will help the RIDE, and the HANDLING. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>BlackDrop50</b> <br /><small>Member # 1715</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,2,10,12,58,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Oh yeah another thing, you should be VERY wary of LOW ramps, and SPEEDBUMPS, seeing as you have a GT.
