| Re: Lowering your car
   
My car is lowered ~2" in the front and 1.8" in the rear...I have H&R Super Sports as well with Tokico HP's, MM CC 4 bolts and X2 Ball Joints.
The car is low...I have to drive SLOW over RR crossings, dips, etc. I don't even bother with speed bumps and some parking lots are too steep to enter. I also have scraped my cats on high spots on crowned roads 
Despite all this pita stuff I love the stance and the handling performance.
I wouldn't however, recommend this setup on a daily driven car. Mine only sees the road when I feel like it, so I don't mind the drop.
Surprisingly I have not scraped my chin spoiler, but I am very careful around any inclines, like to a crawl careful  | |

I have long tube headers and the only time they scrap is on speed bumps you have to go slow

Roll? | My rears are the same and my fronts are slightly narrower (245) and I don't rub on the fenders. My 315's sit about flush with the fender and they've never rubbed, and I've stretched that suspension over bumps/inclines.
The only rubbing you'll probably notice is the front tires will rub the sway bar at full lock.
Also keep on eye on your rear tires and your exhaust piping...I'd imagine that your GT exhaust will be fine...I know my aftermarket Pypes came fairly close to my tires, I had to re-adjust the piping/tips.

| I have 315/35/17 on mine with a 2" drop and I clear. Not by much but it doesn't run. I run 255/40/17 in the front and have no issues. I don't know about 275 though.

The lowest part on my car is the engine cradle so i have to be aware of the crowned roads. Other than that I don't have much problems. Just have to be careful.   | |

That looks pretty good with the 20's. To hear about 20's on our style cars doesn't sound right.. but that looks pretty good. How does it ride being lowered with such big wheels?

Thank man! It's a pearl sunset orange with a pearl white stripe .....
The ride not bad at all. I actually take it to tracks Fromm time to time to do a bit of turning since there isn't too many drag strips in Germany. And I take on a lot of M3's and sti's . It's supercharged btw

The Pro Kit will drop it 1.5" and the C springs will drop ~1-1.25".
Enough to be to noticed but not enough to make daily driving inconvenient.

My car has the Eibach pro kit and the steeda x2 ball joints should be 2.25 in the front and 2 in the back but I don't really believe the front is as far down as they said but then again it was hella high stock
But this should give you an idea what Eibach has to offer
---------- Post added at 12:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 AM ----------
And Eibach is hella stiff great for corners but expect to feel every dip in the road
I personally love it but the girlfriend doesn't like it so much when we have to drive crappy roads
