If you put the whole ss suspension on the car and something fails; it won't be under the warranty. Although the SS/SC or TC Suspension is made by GM, it wasn't put on the car right out of the factory nor is it an option from there. I'm still going to put either FE5 struts or go even higher with Konis when I lower my car.

ok here is what i found. friday i bought 06ss/sc springs and down pipe. when i got home i found that mine had 2 cats and 2 o2 sensors (one before the cats and ane after)and the one i bought had only 1 cat (good thing) but only one o2 sensor after the cats. but this can be fixed you just to get a fitting and fab up a new o2 sensor port before the cat. I have no idea if that will work im going to try next weekend.

now for the springs thay will slam right in!! with all the right tools at hand i had them in and the car on the road in 2 hours flat. the car did get lowered some maby and inch or so but the handeling is so much better.

you can get a new bung welded in for trhe second sense.... shouldn't cost you more than say... $40-50.

the spring will even you out more than anything. Drop is minimal, but helps the look and definitely helps the handling.
