Those might be all the different parts but they arent all required to bring the handling of an SC or base model closer to that of a TC

Hey how do you think the new TC shocks would ride with Eibach Pro-Kit Springs?

Yeah I know he has the 1.0 purple bar under his car. wanted to know his whole set up, I'd imagine he has the TC shocks n Struts with some springs + steering rack spacer but what else?

1. SS/TC shock/struts
2. Pedders springs
3. OTTP street or Hardcore swaybar

This will give you decent ride, great lowering/looks, awesome handling.

How much less comfortable (if at all) is a setup like the above (or using stock SS/TC stuff)? I would like better handling on my 2.4, especially once I supercharge it, but I don't want the ride to be uncomfortable. Like someone else said, gotta be able to pick up chicks.

The ride is not uncomfortable at all. It is stiffer but not harsh. Unless you drive over pot holes all the time. Otherwise I will sell you the whole SS/SC setup (springs/struts/shocks) from my car they had 23,000 miles on them.

How long are the SS/TC shocks/struts lasting with the Pedders springs? What about the rest of the suspension, do the Pedders springs put a lot of stress on them and wear anything out?

Trying to decide if the Pedders are worth the trouble, folks are having a hard time installing them, the SS/TC springs will be an upgrade to my SS/SC anyway.

Is CED still the cheapest place to get SS/TC suspension? other than I guess gmpartsdirect. I thought there was a dealership in the chicago area that had good pricing and website and shipped outside the US. can't remember the name
