Default Best place to buy SSC Springs?

What's the best place to buy SSC springs? I took the car on a cruise through the mountains today and I decided this is what I want to do next.

They are stiffer than stock, so to an extent, yes. But the STBs are what really stiffens the car up. Pair them up and you'll be happy.

No. You need a modified one for the front. http://drcustomparts.com/STBBars.htm

I heard a rumor that Canuck Motorsports Springs on Ebay are SSC's in canada. Few guys mentioned them riding very well. Ill probably get a set for 150 bucks new. Cant beat that.

When I called the phone number on SSC's website to order the springs I reach Canuck Motorsports. I asked them if SSC springs and Canuck Motorsport springs were the same (as it stated Canuck Motorsports on the paypal invoice); they said they were the same company.

Anyone know if Wbody rear sway bats fit our cars

Also, are the brackets needed? The STBs are much cheaper on Wbodystore but don't come with brackets.

Good work.

Shipping is pretty high on ebay. I paid $212 w/ shipping by calling Canuck Mortorsports. I did check ebay before I ordered them and w/ shipping it was about the same price.

im not sure about the sway bars but with the STB's if you dont get the brackets then you will have to drill holes to mount them.

Yeah, further reading showed that. I'm just trying to figure out about the sway bar now. I'm really wanting to get some suspension stuff done.

Canuck is SSC's distributing company. You get a better price if you order straight through them.
