Default Do you have pics of a 98-02 SS lowered 2 inches?

I am considering buying a lowering kit and I would like to see a picture of the stance of the car lowered 2 inches.....anybody have a picture of their ride so I can see what it looks like?

Gracias!!

No pics, but I had my 02 Z lowered with 2" intrax springs for awhile and it scraped everything to include my driveway and garage....

sportlines = 2"

doesnt scrape bad at all unless you do have xpipe like me then you have to watch out. I think it may be more than 2", slightly but surely. Id recommend the LG kit because its alot stiffer than the others and wont give you alot of bounce when you hit a bump or something, ride is pretty solid but still has a nice feel.

ya man, the lower you go, the better the shock has to be to be able to handle the situation. so i hope you are running some bad *** shocks and maybe even a super tucked exhaust. trust me, i ran sportlines with some like gabrael shocks and the ride sucked *****. my car's STOCK y pipe and tranny cross member was scraping the ground over any and every road iregularity.


Just my two cents
