I have a 98 gtp that i want to lower just to get rid of the wheel gap. I have two 12's in the back so it sags fairly good. What lowering spring would equal the front and rear out due to the weight and still have a performance ride?

I've heard SSC are supposed to be pretty good for that.

I've heard you don't wanna run spring blocks all the time though. Can't remember why tho.

I believe SSC has an option for a stiffer or different spring rate for those with a system in the trunk...

Yes they do offer an audio spring for the rear. SSC's will probably be your best bet unless you go with vogtlands.

eibachs are ok if you live down perfectly flat roads and pot hole and your kidneys will hate you as they basucky are just stiff for the sake of being stiff

it puts more stress on the spring perch on the strut but on a lowerd car the strut will blow out beofre the perch cracks and brakes
