i want to get springs but i dont want to spend the money and get a drop thats not even noticable, or get a drop thats to low, i know eibach has the ones that are either 1"/1.5" and then the 2"/2.5". i the 1" doesnt seem like alot and would be a waste if theres barely a difference, but then i dont want my car to be low rider low you know. so if u guys got pics and could tell me what kinda drop you guys got would help me out alot in my decision this week!


ooh and i got a 2005 SS/SC of that helps lol

 

i have the progress springs and they look perfect, lemme post a pic! i have an 06 SS/SC

here it is

 

how much of a drop is it?

 

Pro-Kits are a waste of money, IMO

I got sportlines, which I thought would be too low, but they turned out to be perfect

 

I have the pro kit in my car.... It is far from a waste of money bud. Dropped my car perfectly and guess what.... it never scrapes! its awesome, i also have 18'' rims so it helps cover the gap a little better. Actually there is a difference in wheel well gap between base model and ss/gt models

 

The prokit drops the ss none in the front and only .5 in the back. Go with sportlines, lower the ss/sc around and inch in the front and a little over an inch on the back.

 

IMO lowering should create an even arc around your tire.

IE, the same distance from the wheel well to the tire, all around the well.

If the top of the wheel well is closer to the tire than on the sides, its to low.


(this is just my own personal opinion, i think it looks stupid when the gap isnt nice and uniform)

 

Agreed.

 

eibach sportlines FTW

 

is the sportlines the name for the style of the drop? like do sportlines only come in like 1"/1.5" for example?

^^^^ how much did u drop yours?

 

man i got the ssc springs no pictures online yet and my buddy has eibachs they r the same drop but the ssc springs are only 180 sipped from cobalt addiction soo thats why i got them and the ride is better than stock dude trust me i got on here just like u and evryone has a different opinion but i have a 06 ss/sc and trust me the drop is way noticable

 

Ive got H&R Race springs super low in the front (tire tucking), pro-kit hight in the rear



Sorry for the old pics but they have settled about .5'' in the front and 1'' more in the back sence these pics were taken.....

 

ok so u have the ssc springs..how much was the drop?

 

get the b and g lowering springs. thats what i got and g damn they are nice.
