Default SLP Spring and Shock Package Installed (pictures)

Here's pictures of SLP spring and shock package installed with 1/4 tank of gas. Springs will settle more but no drop on the front (perfect for heavier iron block cars) and 1/2" drop on the rear afterwards . I also have the option of using KONI SA shocks up front which can drop front 3/4" more. The SLP springs are progressivly stiffer than OEM.

Ride is firm but better than stock.

Do these look like the same ones?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...5578660&rd=1,1

I want about the same height as my 120k mile suspension is right now, but want to have it be a bit firmer and maybe not sag so much when i have a few people in the car. I don't want to go lower since the TDs hang so low, with 4 people in the car it drags on everything. Wondering if them springs would help at all.

The springs will settle some to give you a better height. If the front settles more than the back, you could try doing the hose mod in the rear.

Do a search for the "rear heater hose mod". It lowers the rear by about 1/2" by removing the spring isolator and wrapping the top coil of the spring with heater hose...

Car looks good! Nice subtle drop and it should settle some more.
