I switched from sportline to pro kit and love it. I'll probably change to CJ Springs eventually, since now its definitely a drag-oriented build. Sportline were terrible. The Eibach pro kit shocks were a good purchase, too.

Yeah, the pro kit drop is a good all around setup.

I wonder if the car has aftermarket exhaust. Some over the axle pipes interfere more than others. I'm running MBRP right now and they have have great axle clearance.

are your over axle pipes round or are they flattened oval?

that guy beside me nearly splooged himself walking around looking at my car. said he had to go home and change pants. hah

we had roughly 1k people either at that show, or at the drag strip afterwards.

Lots of fun was had even if it was high of 55, and was getting mid 30's by the time i left.

many had trouble hooking, but damn that cold ass air charge was giving some nice power potential. like 5 guys busted their axles

Whenever I get around to new tires, i may try slightly shorter front tires, and slightly wider rear's if possible. With shorter fronts I swear that the splitter will actually touch

Just purchased an 07 GT. Car has a bunch or stuff done to it. The rear springs have too much drop for my taste and I would like to bring it back up about an inch. I hope to pick the car up tomorrow night from the dealer. I will try to find out what brand springs are under it then. I could tell they were red/orange in color with what looked like white lettering.

Any recommendations on springs to raise it back up an inch?

Might be Eibach Sportlines. They're red with white lettering. My car had them when I first got it but I got rid of them in favor of Cobra Jets.

*note*

Just saw where they were Sportlines lol. Mine sat that low as well. I hated them. Scraped on everything.

Does anyone make a spacer to raise the rear 1/2"? Getting some rubbing with my sportlines...

I thought about those but ended up taking the isolator off my old front strut mount and cutting it flush so it ended up being 1/2" thick and put it on top of the spring around the cone thing in the spring bucket. Fit well and no more rubbing, not to mention free!

For those that want to see the before and after.
The after pic does look much better, OP. In the before pic, it looks like the rear is lower than the front. I personally would have lowered the front a tad bit to match the rear, but I like it to be as low as possible without totally ruining the ride quality to where it's not fun to drive.

Anyway, the new set up looks good!
