I would post pics of mine but I have exceeded my bandwidth limit from photobucket for the month and I'm too lazy to find another photo host website. I have Koni 4/4s and strano springs and think it's the perfect height.

Here is a picture of mine. I actually cut 1 coil off of the front springs and did the hose mod on the rear. I love the way it rides and I get nothing but compliments on it.

Stock springs cut. It rides better than before so I dont know what others are saying about it will ruin the ride. I am very happy with it. And it launches better at the track.

Here are photos of my 00 SS lowered per the kit 1.75 inches...

The springs were goldline, I am very happy with the ride, just a touch firmer but not rough at all. The airdeflector does drag often, but the nose seems to clear most things. I have seen that it is very close to parking curbs tho.

Oh and I threw in a photo of the car from before I lowered it and changed the wheels

Yep front and rears. I started with the fronts first. I think it was 1.5 coils. But the car looked like a 4x4 since I took 400lbs out of it.

I got them from a guy out of LA that goes by camaroking.

Name of his company is United Motors, 818-364-7999. He also has a web site www.camaroking.com.

I took me about an 2 hours to swap them out by the way. Was very easy to do I thought. After doing springs in my 68 olds, 58 TBird, 65 TBird and my 98 BMW, this car was the easiest I think I have done yet.
