Sorry, but my knowledge of suspension mods is virtually nil... for a non-PP GT... if I do springs/sway bars/strut tower brace/G-Trac Brace... what about shocks? Are they then not correctly matched for the rest of the stiffer setup? Any other parts that might not be correctly matched?

It is my personal opinion that shocks and struts should always be upgraded when swapping out springs. The factory parts are good for the daily driver but can't keep up once you install higher rate springs. I would either wait for the FRPP Handling Kit or for the aftermarket vendors to put together a complete suspension upgrade.

In general I agree, especially if going from an non performance-oriented suspension. With the PP, the Steeda spring rates are still a good match; with the base maybe not.
