suspension
 
Is anyone out there using eibach sportlines on '99 -'01 GT's ?Iam wondering how the actual spring rates compare to stock ?Is it necessary to uprade struts and shocks ? also when I put Flowmasters on my car I noticed the driver side muffler was about two inches lower than the other - is this normal ? Thanks for any advice and also I think you guys run a great message board .Thanks again

I can answer your question concerning the exhaust, but not the suspension.

Yes its normal for the driver side muffler to hang down a little lower. Even stock, the drivers side hangs down a little lower.

fomocojo,
I had my suspension done at a college that teaches mechanic. The suspension professor explain to me that every time you change the springs you should also change the struts-shocks (this only because they come out anyway) and when the car gets lower you must install caster-camber otherwise it won't align.
Hope this help.
