Installed SSC springs

Thanks to help from Jazer and Mkulrey13 I was able to get SSC's installed last weekend.

Car sits lower, rides well, and has zero body roll in the twists. Overall very happy with the swap.

Pics!

I live in NH, land of rough roads, frost heaves, potholes, and speedbumps. Any more drop and it would be undrivable. Not to mention that this is my DD, even in the winter, so I can't get carried away.

I was mainly concerned with how the ride quality would suffer with the lower springs, but in my opinion, the ride quality might actually be better!

Guys the springs did have some miles on them before I installed in my car. They came off of Jazer's SC. I took the after pics with the hands 2 days after the install... and the after pics of the whole car were taken today, which is 5 days later...

Not sure how much more they will settle.

is the 2 fingers in the front or back? also say if some man appeared from my window and has SC and TC springs for exactly the same price cause he was withdrawing and he needs it for his crack. Which would you guys say would be better? also same amount of miles for shiz and giggles.

ya they don't drop as low as some, but they ride good, and handle much better than springs that drop you more. They are good lowering spring if you live in a bumpy area or if you drive during the winter. Best springs you can get imo besides pedders obviously.

Tommy, wouldn't you think the TC springs are better than SC springs? I thought they were different

Ya the TC springs are different. They handle better, but that's about it. These are not the SS/SC springs, they are SSC springs, made by Superior Sport Chassis. In case there was any confusion.
