The cm springs ride really close to stock... Unless you hit some bad dips then it feels like race car ha ha

Just wondering if the CM springs end up drooping after a while, anyone had them on for over 2 years?

are the sportsline worth buying?

Old thread I know. I am ordering springs for my 09 SS and on the CM website it says 1 Inch front drop and .5 rear drop. Is that a typo? Is it actually 1.5 in the rear? Don't want to order until I get confirmation from someone lol

I've got a question, too, for this old thread lol

If I want to buy lowering springs, is it recommended I get my struts and shocks replaced as well?

You don't have to. It's not a must. I've had lowering springs on my stock ones for like 15k+ miles

depends on how many miles u have on your existing struts and shocks...

if high mileage it would be silly to remove stock springs, install lowering springs w/o installing new shocks and struts.
