I want to get lowering springs for my '94 GT with about a 2 inch drop, what are some good springs to get and how much can I expect to pay? I don't really care about increased performance or ride comfort, what I want to know about is safety and if they will throw off my allignment, camber, etc. I'd rather not get coilovers because they cost more and like I said, I don't really care about increased performance or ride comfort. Also, is it possible to install them myself? if not, how much to get it done at a shop? I would really appreciate any input you can contribute. Thanks

I recomend Eibach sportlines. While they are only a 1.5" drop, they give the car a clean look. But be aware that you will bottom out your springs alot more if you do not replace the shocks along with them, especially on a high mileage car. And something that I just had happen to my car is that my lowering springs put the axles at an odd angle that puts about 2 or 3 times more wear on the axle joints. I ended up having a rough ride almost like having a broken engine mount and had to have the axles on both sides replaced. And they said expect to have to replace them again within the next couple of years. But I definately recomend the Eibach sportlines! just my 2 cents...
