Most big name autoparts distributors will probably loan you one for free, I know my local Advance has a loan-a-tool program, save you from buying a tool you'll use once. With a spring compressor it's cake.

When you replace the springs would be willing to sell your old ones? If so I will buy them from you.

i have sportlines on mine and the ride is noticably "rougher" but not unacceptable. Handling........WOW what a difference in body roll and responsivness. As for looks it looks great and after a week or so after the suspension settles real good it is even lower than when you first let it off the jack. Here are some pics of mine......

i dont know, i didnt bother to ask either. I kept my stockers in case something ever arrises from this i can just put them back on. I can see me going to the dealer with a blown S/C and them syaing it is not under warranty since it is lowered Thats just the way some dealers are. I am in a Camaro club here in Atlanta and the dealership that sponsors us is really cool, they are willing to work with us on stuff like that. So to make a long story short, lower your car and dont tell anyone at the dealership or let them find out, if you ever have any driveline problems then put the stockers back on.
