Question Lowering Springs

I am looking to add lowering springs to my PT and find there are several different kinds. How about some feedback from anyone who has added springs to there ride. I appreciate the information.

I have the Progress kit. I love it, I do file complaints with the city government when ever I come across speed bumps which out of regulation size though.

Remember you lowered your car, so the ground moved up too

I have the Eibach Pro Kits on my wife's '01 and my GT. 1 1/2" drop in front and 2" drop in rear.

For a moderate drop that keeps the rake, H&R drops you about 1-1/4" front & rear. Great look, great handling. I'm satisfied with them.

I have the Eibach Pro Kit also. Love the looks. Didn't hurt the ride and the only drawback was when I added the lake pipes. I had to go out and buy a really low jack to fit under the PT.

I just ordered the Goldline springs (1 1/2" front, 2" rear) and I am anxiously looking forward to getting them in time for CTF3.

I dropped rear only - 2". (I didn't like "butt in the air" look). Ride did not change and only bottoms when loaded with 5 adults on bad bumps - which it will with stock.
Go for it.
