Keep in mind that the GT uses AIR springs at the rear. This is a different beast than something with steel springs. By changing the links that hold them, you can end up lowering the body, but the springs themselves (generally) do not get changed. Changing the lever arm can affect the alignment and the spring rate, though. If you want your headlights and things to work right, you want the vehicle to remain level after any suspension work is done. To me, it's just not worth the effort. I could care less what other people think of how it looks, and I can't see it while driving!
