Default finally lowered my 02 SS, eibach pro kit?

I think... just the springs all the way around. went from stock suspension...




to just these springs.




overall the car turns a hell of a lot better. I've done some corner carving up north in AZ (prescott area) so I can't wait to see how much better it does.





I really think this car would stand out with a set of speedline WS6 wheels. With the color it is and the ride height I don't think anything would look better. and yes it has new tires on it now since the first pics. Although I need to replace one of them because it's got a bubble thanks to one hell of a speedbump. what do you guys think?

Are you still on stock shocks? If you want to take corners those should be #1 to go, they really are as bad as everyone says.

yeah still on stock shocks. I don't feel like spending that much money on the suspension right now, only reason I lowered the car was because I got a killer deal on it.

next up is to put nitrous back on the car, exhaust and finally get around to putting the air lid on the car.

Looks nice, i never much liked the drop of the pro kit though, seems that the rear is lower than the front.

I think the exact numbers were 26" from ground to top of wheel well in the front and 26.5" in the rear, so it might LOOK that way but looks can be deceiving

There's a couple of really bad *** roads here in AZ in the northern part, tucson has a couple of good ones too. There is one particular road that has over 1100 turns in like 9 or 13 miles or something crazy like that.

When spring rolls around and there isn't the chance of snow I will pull the t-tops off the car, mount a couple of cameras and go crazy through there. 2 lane road with 500+ foot drops 6 feet away
