Hey I need some advise on springs... i have a 2001 convertible GT... I want to lower the car and get good handling but it is my daily driver so i dont wanna be bouncing all over the place... I was told motorsport C springs were good. I was looking into eibachs but i was told they are really stiff.... anyone have any sugestions??

you know, i installed steeda sport springs about 3 months ago, and they ride pretty good. just a little firmer than stock.

as per the instructions, you can leave out the spring pads to lower more. there are spring pads on the top and bottom of each spring. i removed the bottom pads, left the top ones against the body so less squeaks would get to the body.

the result was about 1.5" lower in front, and 1.25" lower in back. perfect.
