you could get a set of stock SS springs otherwise the lower you go the rougher the ride

Not very far. The Pro Kit is also an option which doesn't drop as far as Sportlines. But in my opinion if you're going to spend the money/time to lower you might as well get Sportlines.

i have a set of B&G springs, it lowerd the front 1.75 inches and the back 2 inches ( or something like that ), i love my ride its smooth as can be on highways and on city streets there good too, but jus b/c its a big drop gotta watch the road for maybe bad pot holes and stuff but other than that i love my B&G sprigs

( will post a pic of it lowered if u wanna see how low it is )

the stock ss sc rides alot rougher than the lt and ls because of the tires being slimmer.

ive got both and thats the real big difference.
