I put Eibach COmpetition Pro lowering springs on my V6. Be aware that you need to order the set for the V6 as the V8 type compensate for the heavier GT model and would make the ride too harsh.

I have also replaced the front and rear shocks/struts with GT takeoff, replaced the upper and lower control arms, panhard bar and put takeoff GT front and read sway bars on my car if you have questions on those.

Prioritize what you want for your car.

Looks, ride comfort, handling performance, budget, practicality, type of racing, etc.

Setups can be very different depending on what's important to you.

I have the Eibach pro lowering kit. Its a nice setup, looks alot better then stock and isn't too rough over bumps, although if you take a bump with a little bit of a speed, your in for a ride. They also offer a sport set that is lower but a really rough ride. Make sure you also order camber plates so you can align the front wheels.
