noooooo!!!!!! Those cars aren't designed to sit any lower and still drive on the street. My '05 bottomed out once at stock height and the first thing to hit the ground is your header downpipe (which suprisingly isn't the lowest point on the exhaust system, but it is the lowest infront of the wheel line). It damages the cat, overheats the O2 sensors and $7800 later I learned my lesson with driving on windy back roads. I know the new GT's have a redesigned exhaust system so the cat isn't tied into the header itself (the main reason for the big repair bill), but from my understanding the clearance issue with the pipes is still there, they'll be the first thing to hit when bottoming out.
ouch!
what on earth did you do that bottomed our your car on stock ride height?
did you hit some very very deep pothole or something?

Drop a line down the fender and measure the space between the line and the outer part of the tire. That will tell you what would be good. I'd estimate about 10 mm - 12 mm (7/16" - 1/2") per side.
Makes the car look a bit more aggressive as well.
