LSJ springs

I was wondering if the lsj springs are shorter than the stock l61 springs, I want to lower my car about an 1 to 1.5 inches and thats it. Ive seen kits that will lower the car 2 inches but thats pushing it to me since I just got my new bumper put on. If anyone could help me out on this I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

You will notice lower ride height if you install SS/SC* springs.

I forget the exact drop though.

SS/NA springs are not the same as the SS/SC & SS/TC springs.

They def lower the car in comparisson to the FE1 suspension (lsj is an engine code, suspension codes are FE#, lsj's have the FE5, ss/na has FE3, and LT/LS has FE1), but if you're buying springs buy the FE5 08+/TC

I know that LSJ is the engine code.

I always go by my engine code when expressing what car I'm talking about. Fixed*

You are right though....

FE5 suspension comes on the SS/SC & SS/TC

FE3 on the SS/NA & Sport

FE1 LS, LT

The SS/SC has a slighty lower ride height than the SS/NA.

The FE5 springs for the SS/TC are actually a touch lower than the SS/SC springs even though when I park next to SS/TC's my car always looks lower.
