Hi all, just upgraded my 2019 GT 401A non-PP GT to 19x10 ET32 wheels wrapped in Conti Extreme Sport 285/35/19 which made a huge difference (to me) in ride quality which I was not expecting. Most of my driving is relaxed but at times I will open it up and enjoy a few curves so looking to enhance the buttoned-down feel and lower my ride height slightly. From my reading here I feel that the Steeda minimum drop springs on either Bilstein B6 or the FRRP track springs/struts will provide what I'm looking for. Looking to keep costs down so the FRRP kit is a bit less expensive however I can buy the Bilsteins from Steeda and get the springs preinstalled. For the rear, BMR's CB005 cradle brace is being considered. Never used a spring compressor before so not sure how difficult a job that is and in general was wondering if this is a job I want to do on jack stands on my dirt driveway with hand tools/non-impact cordless drill. I've done plenty of wrenching but also know enough to ask if I'm getting in over my head first before touching a car with 1000 miles on it. Anything else I should consider if teardown is already happening or perhaps is needed to work with my planned mods? Thanks in advance...
