I just went through this entire thread just about. Lots of great info and pics.
I think I'm decided on the SP089/SP082 combo everyone is raving about. I've also got a driveway bump with about 1-3/4" of clearance before the tire travels up the bump on the front lip. My car is a 2017 GT Performance Pack with Forgestar F14's 19X10 et 35 with 285/35 Indy 500 tires square setup (Thanks [MENTION=27078]Paul@PKAUTODESIGN[/MENTION] for the advice on the specs)
Pic for reference on stock suspension:
Mainly daily drive the car, do the car show thing, and the occasional twisty road drive with friends. Maybe one day I'll get to drive it on COTA for giggles, but not anytime soon. Are there any other recommendations to go along with the SP089/SP082 combo like the CB005 cradle bushing lockout kit or a rear sway bar? In the past I've learned not to just throw a bunch of suspension parts randomly at a car and rather fix what "needs" to be corrected.

Love all the feedback in this post!
Wish Photobucket didn't ruin the first page! That kinda took some motivation from me to keep that first page epic. I will try and work on it when I get some time.

I have a base gt and the suspension feels terrible. When I accelerate the front end of the car always lifts and all of the weight goes to the back end of the car.
After looking at the thread as far as stance I really like the sp080 springs. I also read that the sp082 and sp089 are a great combo. Which set would give me better handling and help my front end lift problem? I just use the car as a dd and some spirited driving. I have not tracked but might get into it. Any advice?

Luis, SP089 is the just minimum drop version of the front springs in the SP080 package (.875” vs 1.2”), which also uses the SP082 rear springs

2017 base GT- Non PP owner here. I just ordered some wheels. 19X9.5 +25 front and 19X11.5 +56 rear.
Here's what I'm thinking. Front tires will be 275/40 and rears will be 345/30.
For suspension I'm thinking aftermarket shocks and SP080.
Thoughts?
