oh there is a difference. I agree with others a tire that measures 26" would make it better. then it would be looking the same as an SS/SC.

i give you props the car looks good and if your happy with it then that is all that matters screw what everyone else thinks.
^What That Guy Said^

I honestly don't think he was going for the drop, I think it was more a performance issue. He said it drives 100% better. It appears that the front went down under an inch while the rear remained the same height.

While many people see that 4x4 look, maybe a little preface about it would clear things up. Posting pics with just a title leaves a lot to the imagination. I'd like to know the specs to go along with the pics. It might just be a great mod that others can emulate that won't bite their wallets, especially since quite a number of SS/SC owners have gone with other springs.

thanx ssnipes


and i wanted to bring it down just a little and as far as the back they have settled in quite nice. the stance is exactly like the SS stance and yes if i would have put one size taller tire on there it would look more full but the tires i put on are the same rolling diamater as stock so i dont loose any of the spedo problems. However I may put one size bigger on there when I get new tires next year. Ill try to get a picture today or tommarow. but even when looking at the after picture (3 days after i put the springs on) it looks a bit lower now. I wanted better handling and to bring it down some but not a full on drop.

they were worth the money that i spent i recomend it to anyone that wants a small drop with improved handling

We're any other suspension components changed or were the LS springs merely switched out for SS/SC springs?

The ride has dramaticly improved and it has settled more. I think it would settle just a bit more when i get some SS shocks/struts on it
