? for the peeps

first i tried the search and there really wasnt anything that came up. now the ?. in the people that have or have seen ss/tc lowered with lowering springs. what springs give you the biggest drop in the back? i am trying to level and lower the car out. i dont take it to the track or race it much so i am going for the look of the car till the GM stage kit comes out. thanks guys.

I have sportlines. They don't drop it that much really, just enough to level and remove wheel gap. Not slammed by ANY means though.

Don't be so hard on yourself, you have a long way to go to take the #1 spot in the tool chest. 1BAD has that spot sewn up tight.

Yeah. At least you didn't sit there cussing me out for correcting you or yelling at me for my first post on here. THEN you could claim to be a tool. At that point I would suggest you begin reading hooked on phonix or something

The car is already low enough, I broke my intercooler because it bottomed out. Now my car is down for a few weeks till i get the parts in and install them, cost me $900 trust me lowering your car isnt worth it.
