my sportlines leave 1 finger in the back and just over 2 in the front

 

I forgot how low mine was. Been over a year.

 

Here is a pic of my car. it totally needs a serious drop. my whole fist can fit in the wheel well.



for the price im looking for, ssc springs are the way to go? i just dont want to pay 300 for eibachs or something similar.

thanks

 

here's mine bc coilovers, the rear is adjusted all the way down and the front can drop another inch or so

 

after i put stock tires back on i'll let you know my height but with 18s and 35 tires i have 3 in front and a first in the rear with the Tenzo's not really happy with them, i hope it has to do with the very low pro 35 tires.. on thursday the stockers are going on because i wrecked my rims so it will be easier to guage. but the stock 16's with wider tires sat about the same as 18's with 35 tires... we'll see

i think i might be switching to SSC in the future if i'm not happy with the tenzo drop

i realy want 19's, i see you have 35 tires, you think it will rub with 40? 35 in my mind puts alittle too much stress while riding over bumps and pot holes, i'd feel much better protecting the rims with 40 tires, think they will rub?

and the 19's definately call for a body kit or SS lip kit for sure, i saw your ride with stock height and no offense but it was hiddious, looks mich better now, but still needs body work to look spactacular

 

WOW No progress springs yet up? well heres mine.,..
Before:

After:

 

damn are those SSC springs better than sportlines?!?! looks better than mine IMO

 

im not hating or anything, but you spent the money for coilovers, but bought the pacesetter catback? (assuming its the pacesetter, looks like it). nothing wrong with that its just you went all out on the suspension but got an aluminized steel exhaust.

 

Sedan..dropped with SS springs...

 

here's mne on tenzo's before and after

 

JN2, are you happy with the tenzo's? your pics in your gallery really have a nice drop.

thanks for the posts guys, keep them coming! this thread should help a lot of people asking questions about springs

 

I don't know if they will rub. I had the same issues you are having now when I though about the buying the 19" and 35's. I am getting the lip kit, but I have to save the money first. I would like to try 40's just to see how the ride feels. Yes, you have to be careful when you see pot holes and bumps, but man... cornering is a blast! The handling of the car in turns are unreal. I mean, you can pass folks quicker with the drop and low pros in turns. I was taking tight turns so many times I popped a lugnut and bolt off my front left. Fixed it myself, but had to get another alignment just to be legit. I have no problems with rubbing cause this is my commuter car. I did have it fully loaded going to a football game and the backs did rub on speed bumps.

I have the same! I like the ride of the progress springs. Not bouncy.

 

Hey guys remember not to quote pictures... just a heads up.. its site rules...

 

damn...so do the ssc springs drop lower than the sportlines?

 

^ some say they're a bit softer which means they might be alittle lower, I definatlyam interested.

 

well what is any cat back good for, maybe 6-8hp it's not making a huge difference. anyway i'm an autocrosser and suspension is everything. i'm in the process of ordering new springs for the coilovers with twice the spring rate in the rear and and 1.5 times the rate in the front. then ill need to revalve the struts to compensate for the higher spring rates so price of coilovers plus another $800 to get the suspension right(and worth every penny when beating much more powerful cars).

 

im able to get sportlines for 100.
heres a quick question, sportlines or SSCs? SSCs are currently 118.

Im not sure which is better. heard good stuff about eibach but now im seeing replys on SSCs that are also good.

pros?
cons?

 

if u can get the eibachs for tht price than u would be very ..."silly" not to.... (trying to be nice lol)

i have SSC springs but the sportlines are truly a performance spring. i would have gotten them if i had the extra cash.

 

im very happy with my drop, and the ride comfort of the tenzos, i dont even feel a diffrence unless im in a really hilly area, even than nothin bottoms out...and at higher speeds it feels more comfortable, actually i still a but of the ghost steering, when it turn a certain way on its own, im looking at buying the twin subframe bar to help, along with a ttr rear sway bar, than i will be done with suspension for a while and move into cams and a tune

 

Heres my SS w/Intrax shocks and springs




06 SS/SC

 

nvr heard of intrax before

 

im lowered on sprints. Its about two finger gap all the way around. im on 17's

 

nice rims lol

 

They came with the car but heres the website. i have no idea how much they were but they feel good, and i've heard good things previously. http://www.intraxsuspension.com/

 

wbrevels, Ive seen your ride around the cleveland area I think.
