Default "SS" Gets an Altitude Adjustment!!!

Just got back from picking up the SS from Ellis's house. I really like the difference in the ride and the look. Will have to think about getting the front end down about 1/2 an inch more.

Very nice! That's about the same height as mine!

The front probably will Settle, Ellis said he wanted to make sure you could make it in your driveway and test the neighborhood speed bumps...then if you still want it lower he can do that no problems

It is about time you dropped that 4 x 4 look.

Looks good Doug, see you Sunday.

Looks much better Doug. You're right though the front needs to come down a little or the back needs to go up. It DOES look much sportier though

I was just a little gun shy in slamming the Front more then I did with out you driving it first. The rear end came down like a sport line kit and not a Pro kit so I was a little thrown off.

If you want it down more, drop by Saturday night and I will drop it another 6 clicks(one turn)

Nice, Doug.. it looks a lot better at that height, but I think I need to see it in person to get the full effect.

I was actually kinda surprised how low mine came out.. I think it's lower than your car, same basic setup.. I'm even considering raising the front end back up about 1/4-1/2". No scrapes so far, though.

Looks great Doug. I like the raked look on the Camaros more than the Firebirds myself.

Doug,
I noticed something was different when I saw the car in Snohomish. Looks great. Now you get to creep over speed bumps and curbs. The speed tables will be more fun too. After you slow to a crawl to get over them you need to nail the throttle to get back up to speed Do you have good header clearance? Kooks headers are on my list of considerations.
