Default Suspension height specifications...

Im wondering what the ride height is in the front and rear (inches) each so I can lose the rake when I lower her. I would also like some opinions on which company you chose or have heard good/bad things about. Thanks, "JT"

OK LtAld, my 03 GT has the stock suspension. Measuring from the ground to the bottom of the fender, at the point directly above the center of the wheel, I get the following measurements:
front: 27 1/2"
back: 28 1/4"

Another GT owner got the same measurements on his 03 GT. Since the Eibach Pro's lower the rear by .4" more than the front, you will still retain rake.

Thanks for the posts guys, Micheal thats exactly what I was looking for. I want to lose the rake so she has the flat sit look when I do lower her. I wouldnt worry about passengers or luggage. Only me and the gf will be in it most of the time. I dont see a prob with the 4-15"'s making it sag, they didnt in my Grand Am. Thanks again

Lowered with the PT-Tuning BTG Springs:

Now at:
FRONT: 25.75"
REAR: 26.5"

This computes to 1.75 drop front and back. My car still has the stock rake.

This is a pic of Gary's atock 04 and my lowered 03
