INFERNO, i just lowered my 04 GT and used the Eibach Pro-Kit and got a 2 1/8 drop in the rears and 1 3/4 on the fronts, i didn't replace the struts/shocks, but it still made a HUGE difference in how it corners, will do the front and rear sway bars when i can afford them, and am looking for a upper strut bar that will fit a Turbo, if anyone knows of something let me know.

I do not believe that there are any differences in the suspensions, the vendors just have not updated their data, I know at least 3 '06 GT owners with both sedans & convertibles, that have installed replacement after market as well as Mopar Performance suspension parts that were listed for '03 to '05 GT, so I do not see why the normal non GT '06 suspensions would be any different than the non gt '05 & back systems either.

I have had my Tokicos ("HP Blue" front and rear) for about two months now. I can say without hesitation that they have given a tremendous amount of improvement to ride and handling. They are no substitute for coilovers, but at one-third the price, use the money you saved for a Stage 1 (hey!)

One caution however, be sure to have a full wheel alignment immediately after installing them; ditto for after lowering the car. Your tires and pocketbook will thank you profusely! And the car's handling will show the difference, too!

Final caution. Your PT will run its (stock) front spoiler into most concrete parking lot curbs, so be careful!!!!

Enjoy the ride!

Greetings,
Im thining about goung with the Eibach springs for my GT for now but am wondering about installation. I can get them cheaper online but don't know where to take it to get them installed. Would I just be better off ordering them at a suspension place and having them install? My neighborhood shop won't intall customer bought parts. Thanks.

Spencer
