yours is the ss 2.4, there diff on the ss/sc i beleive, because the dark blue ones drop less than the red ones and my cars lower than yours, i highly do not recommend the red ones for ss/sc

They both have the same ride height.

so if the ones made for the ss/sc lower the same as the race ones, i assume the non race ones ride better and it lowers the same?

same ride height now, maybe, but stock the SC is a bit lower. The ride on the reds is nice, a mild micro tiny bit bouncy on rough/sharp bumps but nothing harsh.

the main difference is the spring rate between the two. I am not 100% on the amount of drop though. the website says 2.0''-1.6'' for the reds and 1.5''-1.4'' for the blues

No, it looks lower because of the lip kit.

Wow how mis informed u are... If u took a base LS, LT, ss/na, ss/sc and ss/tc and put the same spring on all the cars, the ride height would be exactly the same, only difference would be the body kit making the sc and tc look lower, but the ground to fender clearance will be the same.... Just saying

Check your rear springs. Should have .2 at the end for the ss/SC. If not its the non SC model
