Wow, that's just sexy. However and maybe it's the angle of the pic, but it seems the Tenzo's put the SS2.4 on a Negative rake.

Also I have to ask what the ride is like. I'm gona go out on a limb and say the stock suspension will blow in no time.

hey look, a fellow white SS. Looks good. I lowered mine with Sportlines (2.5" front/3" rear) but am still not satisfied with the drop. I'm gonna wait and see if the 18"x7.5 Axis Reverbs I ordered complete the look, and if not, then im gonna go with some KW coilovers and ditch the Sportlines. Looks good though man.

Does the shocks bottom out when you hit a bump?
Please keep us updated about the negative rake issue. Hopefully the front will settle.

Now I'm wondering. Since the SS2.4 FE3 suspension has "Better Valving" than stock shocks, maybe the Tenzo's will complement these. Maybe the SS/SC and the SS/NA won't need Koni's.

Maybe I'm being too hopefull here

The sportlines gave me camber issues out the butt though. I need to get the SPC camber correction kit asap. Also, it seems the rear of my car is never even with the Sportlines. It always looks like one side is lower than the other depending on the level-ness of the surface im on. Still haven't figured that out.....

I posted some pics of my white SS lowered on Sportlines and no one seemed to care, lol. Guess the Tenzo-R's are the choice spring here, as my car looks nearly indentical, and supposedly a little bit lower (with the exception of some vinyl role calls on my rear passenger windows and of course my ARK N2 popping out the rear), and yet I fly under the radar on the forum, lol.

Well I'm kinda new, how about sending me a link to a before and after pic. Or just a after pic.

Sportlines ride buttery smooth, just like it did stock. If someone were to ride in my car and not know I had springs, they'd probally assume it had stock suspension. I'm completing my suspension soon. Right now I just have Sportlines and the DC Sports CS-1 strut bar. But after I get my wheels (18x7.5 Axis Reverbs) + my SPC camber kit/four wheel aliginment courtesy of PTuning, then im gonna go ahead and get my Eibach front/rear sway bars and my Cobalt Addiction floor bar. Oh yeah, and I should probally put my Powerslot rotors and Hawk HPS pads on too before they collect too much dust in the basement! haha, so many mods to do, so little time.
