lowering springs
 
I have a 2001 GT and I was wondering what kind of springs would be the best and if I would need a camber kit

I have the FMS 'b' springs, which, along with shocks, made the car handle enumerately better than the 11yr old stock setup. The 'b' springs are fairly mild (425/550 front 200/300 rear) progressive springs, the 'c' springs swap the fronts for 660 static rate springs. The springs lowered my 90 convert. about an inch, maybe more, and there is a little bit too much outward cant of the wheels, but I haven't gotten CC plates yet. You only know if you need CC plates after youve done it.

Personally, I would get 450-580(in that range) springs. Stock is 430-550, so thats a 10% stiffer spring. GREAT choice for a street car. In fact, I had a set of Eibachs in that spring range. THen moved to 650# linears for more racing, now moving to 880# (400# coilovers).
Get some from Eibach, H&R (not recommedning the "B" springs).
