I have the Eibach Prokit's on mine, with new KYB GR2's, and it rides really good. It's only a little lower than stock, and not too bumpy.

If you're going to spend $$$ on better shocks and springs, why not just get a set of Tein coilovers? The cost isn't that much more than bilstein/koni and a set of springs.

How much for the drilled/slotted rotors for the GT? All 4.
What kind of shape are they in? How many miles on them?

The lowest drop I've seen so far is the Eibach Sportlines, they're supposed to be 2" all around. 40% stiffer than stock, but you'll still potentially blow your struts, or KYB struts, when you're that ...

I get about 28mpg in my GT, consistently. I have a K&N drop-in and I shift around 3k regularly, and about 80% of my driving is highway. I also keep the car empty of cargo, no dead weight =].

Not yet, but I had someone looking at the car as I cranked the wheel back and forth, and it wasn't the tires.
I'm getting an alignment this week, as soon as I have time.

Uh no, unless you're launching the car sideways =].
Sway bars just reduce body roll, or lean, when cornering. Stiffer springs and struts might help launch by reducing weight transfer on a hard launch,...

You mean to get a SET of tires right? you can't go sticking a 225/40/15 on with your other 3 being 205/50/15.

I called KYB and asked them for their recommendation, and they said the main point is not to lower the car too much with their GR2's.
