Ground Clearance and/or Rubbing

[MontelG]

I'm considering putting Steeda progressive springs on my GT convertible (non PP). My vert will be my daily driver during the summers so drivability is very important. The roads here is Iowa aren't perfect and there are lots of curbs, etc. for those that have put on lowering springs, do you have any issues with ground clearance or rubbing at all?

I have the progressive springs and have no issues at all. I don't worry when hitting bumps and dips in the road etc. Not sure what you mean about the curbs. I would never pull so close to the curb to try to get my front end over it as some curbs are higher than others and would cause a problem at stock ride height.

I thinking curbs as in driveway curbs. Mine isn't the flattened out kind and I don't want to worry about getting in and out of the driveway. I'm also concerned about speed bumps if I drop it.

was wondering all most all this myself. Mich the land of third world roads.
my question would be is there anything that can give a better ride without lowering things? mine is a dally driver with no engine mods

I go over speed bumps all the time, no problem. I have a 2" weather strip (cement floor is 2" higher) to get into my garage and not even close to a problem. Just to give you an idea on how high the car still is, the little rubber wind deflector under the front is still 5" off the ground and the plastic part it's mounted to is about 7.25" off the ground.
