The standard steels are black, lol.
You might get away with lowering 70mm depends where your going to drive it. Loads of places sell suspesnion.

For your chip I'd see either hardhitter on here or Poloace on Porka. They are two very different chips, so which one you choose would depend on what you are after from your GT.

Suspension kit wise, you can get a Venom spring and shock kit which is available in 70mm.

Induction kits... Piper X do a faom one that goes straight on (from what I believe anyway, might be best asking a GT owner though), or again, you can ask hardhitter on here.

HTH.

Yes, I do my own induction kit and pipercross have one (which are foam and the only other readily available). I also do a chip which has been mentioned which works well, although it's no substitute for a proper remap.

I would go for something better than cheapo venom as you get what you pay for really. Something like FK, Weitek, Koni, H&R etc are good makes.
