Finally lowered the Terrain
Finally got to installing the lowering kit. The kit included the original lowering springs that were run a few years back, new equinox sport shocks / struts, new bump stops, and adjustable cam nuts for the rear. Kit went on without issue and the adjustable cam nuts were needed for the rear and once those were put on the rear aligned within factory spec. Rides real nice over bumps and isnt too low that driving is an issue that ive found. Overall very pleased. Pictures and measurements were taken right after the vehicle came off the lift, it seems to have settled a little more since then visually. Alignment sheet and measurement sheet ( ground to bottom of fender ) included at the bottom. Plan to take better pictures next weekend in some abandoned industrial locations.

Thanks. It really does. Thats one of my favorite OEM wheels ever. Just looks so good on whatever you put it on. I love it on G8's especially. Such a simple design but man its a good looking wheel

Thank you. I completely agree. the rear wheel gap on this thing before was ridiculous. it actually handles very well in corners too with the wider camaro wheels. Its not auto x racer by any means just adds a little more fun to being a brick lol

Was a set of 10 lowering "kits" made. Villas Arbor springs, equinox sport shocks ( OEM shocks front and rear 1" lower from factory, and adjustable cam nuts for alignment. Springs you cannot buy. Best of luck.
