Well I finally addressed the crappy lowered springs with Air-Ride air bags. Lifetime warranty and about $75 fixed all the dragging hard parts and slamming bump-stops. #25 PSI and 4 persons in the car and never rubbed a 325 on a fender! Drop 'em to #18 and keeps my low stance. Can't wait to try adjustments at the track. I still think the AFCO product idea is brilliant -if I had the inclination to screw with 'em I'd go that way.

These look pretty nice!
Sorry not to answer your post sooner. No picts for now, but they are dirt simple to install and come with lifetime warranty. I found out about them when I called for warranty for a set on my dad's Winnebago. They sent me a brand new pair without questions or proof of purchase. Heck I could have been lying about even owning a set and made up the story [you guys don't do that they are great with customer service, especially for a big company, if you lie to them I hope Karma get's you.] I was so happy I ordered a set for the SS. Be sure to watch a youtube video on installation, you'll know why after watching [easy install, but need to know the fold like a taco trick].
Biggest difference in driving is that they are a progressive spring [read "bouncy"]. Love the adjustability, but might eventually go with a better shock.

Mine IS a 10-bolt. When I put in the 10-bolt I used the same springs as the stock. They fit inside the spring, they don't care what you are running. Just add or remove air to help your spring.

Picked up a pair of these 5" spring adapters/height adjusters from a local 'Tech member/autox'er for $10. Trying to decide on spring brand and length: 9.5", 10.5", or 11" <--- links
Any advice from you guys that have run/are running this setup? I'm shooting for anywhere from 1.5" drop to a 2.3" drop.
