The Official SS/NA and Base Model Spring Thread
Yes at the moment, other things came first, the back really doesn't matter all that much, more so a look thing but I've got Powell's brackets to mount them just got to get the rest of it and actually put it on. Other things come first at the moment like getting a different engine in that can handle power better.
The PF01's are getting autocross slicks and then summer tires on the polished LNF wheels.

My wife's old car. Plate was already edited out in 2nd pic, since the car/plate is gone didn't bother editing the first
SSC springs. Forgot the drop, same as CM I think.
Not sure what's up with the photo filter on the 1st pic
It is nice to see the bases and 2.4L's without the lip kits to get a real idea of the look. Definately for the base model guys with no side skirts...Car looks great btw
Thanks, just had it repainted at maaco. Only other thing I want to do is get a set of LSJ headlights which are tinted from the factory and tint the windows 50%.
on that setup it did look great, but that was 2 years ago. for the last year it's been my work/ construction vehicle and on FE5 shocks/ struts with YYZ springs. you don't even want to see any of the pics i have like that
my truck is my nice vehicle now!
the handling is ok but at just under 64k miles i just replaced left lower control arm and should do the right one too, that should explain the roads i travel everyday. gap doesn't bother me anymore but as a construction inspector the car sees mud and dirt daily
Edit- just realized you meant no front lip.
Hate this look now
Hate that look? Just wail till you see mine. Going back to stock due to finances. Got leaky struts, saggy springs and bad axles. Saves me about 250. It is gonna look terrible!
My current wheels are 195/65/15 with 15x7 wheels on a 1.9" drop in the front and 2.9" drop in the back so basically 2" drop and 3" drop. Upgrading to 17x7 tomorrow possibly. Don't know the brand of my springs. Cut the rear ones an inch
Looks nice and level! I wish you knew the brand of the springs haha
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...d=331204301071 I ordered these then cut 1" off the rear springs.

they hold up just fine. Handles well in my opinion. I'll have my 17" wheels on by the end of the week. I'll upload a pic of what this drop looks like with the wheels. Just watch when you lift your car up to work on it, you'll have to line up the springs.
no, it's lower than any lowering spring I can find. Even with the 1.9" drop the rear ones would come out sometimes, it's not that it's cheap it's just that with that kind of suspension any time you raise up your car you should always check and see if it's lined up.
That's why so many springs have dead coils, they're there for a reason even if they provide no support as soon as it's on the ground. I just don't want someone to go buying $90 ebay springs now without knowing they really aren't that good and for not too much more you can get other springs. I guess I just don't cheap out with anything, running over 1k in gauges in my car.
