VERY well stated... Some want comfort, some want low, some want firm, some want a mix of each.

No SS/Sport guys with eibach pro kit springs? I got mine sitting in the living room but was trying to wait till spring to put them on. Was curious to see an SS with them. Or hell any car since the one posted back a page or so didnt work.

Thanks! I was curious about Yellow as well on a 4-door...but when I finally saw the car in the show room I had to get it! Drove 400 miles to find a Sedan that wasnt black in FL lol. I originally wanted SRTC (sport red) or silver....but once I saw the Yellow I it just looked so nice on the 4-door. Also pretty amazing they only made 15 RY SS sedans .....
My Pedders springs, steering rack spacers and OTTP Street rear anti sway bar should be here very soon. I am excited to see the difference.

^^^^^^^ Those are used springs, they're already warn in and settled. they wont look that way out of the box, but after a few years you'll probably seem some results like that.

They'll settle within the first couple months...they don't take years to settle that much.

Is the ride rough? Does it absorb bumps or when you hit a bump does it bottom out?

no ride is not rough at all. i let my buddy at the dealership take it out and hes into slamming fullsize trucks and he said that was the best lowered vehicle hed ever ridden in. it doesnt have the pogo stick when you hit a pregnant ant and does not bottom out either as well. i have them matched up with koni yellows and i love it.

so once again i have the question of the day! which aftermarket spring would give the smoothest ride? i currently have zenn springs and i hate them, they bounce too much and you can feel ever bump!! i want to get a whole new setup struts and springs not looking for coil-overs just replacing suspension. anyone has any feedback on monroe struts? polyuthrane bumpers, or camber kit?

Well I jsut got the k-sports, same thing you see on the red ss reposted on every page. they ride super smooth, comfy as hell. I took three friends out in the car, I asked each one atthe end of the ride if they felt any difference from last time they rode(when I was stock). all said no. These springs are winners in my book, and right now I'm still running factory lt struts. There's nothing bad I could say about these springs.
