They keep the same coil rate, which means they have the same amount spring in them as stock. It seems they would basically do nothing for an SS. With the Eibach Pro-kit, you also don't get a real big drop, but at least you get a tighter coil rate and firmer ride.

The SSC spring cost $130 versus Eibach $280. But to spend even $130, plus the install labor, for a spring that doesn't do anything different seems kindda silly.
Before I put the rear SSC springs in I could stick my fist in the rear wheel gap, now I can only fit two fingers. There is an error in your math, they drop the car. 1.5" front and 1.3" in the rear, very similar numbers to the Sportlines.

ok so before we fixed the spring on the driver rear you stick a whole fist under. Switch the spring and only have to angle your hand(flat) to get up under. no more clanking.

Looks like a nice drop.

Im thinking of geting the sport lines my self.

But I like the ones you have to.

Do you have a link to where I can get them?
