I would be curious about this as well. I have a 98 GT and the fricken tail pipes bottom out all the time. Pisses me off so much I want to sell the thing..Anyone know if something can be done to lift the car's arse end?

GP is known to sit low in the rear. Thats what makes it look cool. You could try to get new springs or, get a helper kit for the coils..Helper kit is cheaper and easier, but haven't used them for years...so i dont know...

for your 94, the only solution is a new transverse leaf spring. They are made of fiberglass and crack with age and get weak. On the 98, it has coils in the rear, and the GT's sit low, not much you can do on that one.

ok heres a question i have a 95 gp and it sits lower some times other times its normal and i have measured it and it does sit at least 2-3 inches lower but the next day its back up to normal,
i have been asking about it and temp doesnt matter and i had new struts put in about 8 months ago seeing if that might fix it but no such luck, and in my apartment parking lot we have speed bumps and it scraps on days that its lower so my exhaust would be very happy to not to be crushed any more

i tried these before on my S10 when the front end was sagging too much.
