Finished the install yesterday. I haven't done an alignment yet, but here are the pics. I'm hoping the suspension will settle a little more, as right now I'm only seeing 1" drop all around, not the 1.7" advertised.

**EDIT** Here they are after 1 week. We finally got a few minutes without rain, so I snapped afew pics.

it could be just the pic but it makes the front wheel look low... is it possible to just lower the front because i think we'd benefit from that setup quite a bit.

Looks great! Did you do the install yourself or have it done? I was thinking about getting some for my ImpSS and installing them myself, but wasn't sure how hard the install would be.

I searched on google for "installing lowering springs", and I think I read a quick how to from V6z24.com that had some good info. That's about it!
I'll try and get some better pics tomorrow... the sun was almost gone when I took this pic!

Trust me, I am making the suspension better on this car. It's my winter project. I am doing the front and rear STB's and BMR Adjustable Lateral Arms forward and rear mounts, and Trailing Arms

Lowering makes all GM cars look so much better. Why do they allow for so much space in the wheel well? European cars always seem to have a tighter "fit" for the wheels; Is that a U.S. regulation?

Now that I've had them a week, I'd say they're actually a little softer than stock. I'm surprised at that, but it's not by much. It's nice though... the factory GXP is stiff enough, it doesn't really need anything more. ![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)
BTW, I added one add'l pic to the top post!
