Finally!! Koni/DMS installed. Okay, here's a quick before and after comparo. I just got everything installed today and I haven't even tested it out yet. But, I plan to! 
I like where the car sits right now so, I hope it doesn't settle too much. I never wanted my SS to look slammed. Just a little lower. I'll ad some better pics later but for now, here you go.

I know an actual Chevy/GM mechanic (at my local Chevy dealer) who does stuff for me on the side. Dropped it off at 9:00 this morning on my way to work and he was done by noon. Paid him $120 cash. Fair deal IMO.

Looks just right. I hope it doesnt settle much either. I put mine on today and i am wanting them to settle about an inch. My friend put them on his 01 Z and the rear settled about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch

I plan on taking some more pics this weekend (if it doesn't rain). I've got some straight profile "before" shots, so I'll duplicate those when I get to snappin'.

Looks good. I have been leaning more towards the DMS springs. I think $120 for the install is a good deal. I have heard the fronts are a PITA. Let us know your thoughts on the ride after you have had them on a while.

I've seen more than a few pics on the site (showing off their CME's) that, apparently, have the same issue. With the stock shocks and springs, my SS sat about one inch lower on the passenger's side. I thought when I installed the new stuff it would solve the problem. It did, mostly. Now it's only about 0.25 in. lower on the passenger's side. Probably not noticeable to anyone but me. But, bugs the hell outta me if I think about it.
