Looking for information about lowering a performance pack GT 2016.

[Derf]

Keep in mind that im looking for mostly looks.
Do i already have top quality suspension and it would be not wise to change it?
What are the good options?
Would it be good to pair it with 3/4 spacers?

I have a 2016 GTPP and it has red springs on it and it's lower and has almost no roll compared to my 2017 GTPP. I'm pretty sure they're Eibach or BMR, gonna check soon, but I like them better.

As far as spacers, I want to do 25mm I think because I like the PP wheels, I think that would look good.

Ooh something I can contribute too. Here’s my journey in lowering a PP 2017. I wanted to go as low as possible without going the coil over route I have done on previous cars.

So I ordered the Steeda extreme springs with camber bolts and 25mm spacers front and rear. My drop was everything I wanted the drop was dead perfect and with the spacers looked super aggressive and I was thrilled couldn’t be happier. I mean it was dead on perfect. Now I just recently replaced my rear factory Perellis with Michelin pilots in factory sizes. Now I don’t know if it’s because my rear tires were so worn or if the Michelin’s run wider but I have some rub on compression on the drivers side. Now my cradle could be slightly out of alignment though. So I have two options to fix this. One is to drop down to a 20mm spacer or a 15mm spacer. But I’m also looking at new wheels. But as far as the drop I’m super thrilled with the Steeda extremes and the ride quality and handling and not having to mess with adjusting coil overs.

Almost forgot when I had the alignment done. Just yesterday as a matter of fact I had camber set at 2.6 to try to eliminate the rubbing in the rear and it’s not as bad but still have some. I didn’t have any issues up front. So if you’re going to run spaceports would suggest 25mm front and 20 rear if you go as low as I did with the Extremes from Steeda.

A more common setup I've seen is 25F/23R.

Is that good? What about the price?

Grab Steeda Progressives. They are low but smooth and pair well with your PP dampers; if you have 35k miles or more look into swapping for ProActions to save on replicating labor.
