i was just curious to see if you guys are that lowered with the ssc springs actually noticed any improvement in the handling ? also shouldnt be the shocks and struts be upgraded? i have the bilstein struts on my gxp so i dont know if those can handle the ride on the drop or not..

Big time. The car handles like a totally different animal with the SSC's, KYB struts, and the DR STBs.

I'm lowered in the front only, due to a sound system in the rear. It seems to handle a little more tightly, but it LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER!

I know that there is a few fellas on ClubGP lowered on the stock GXP struts with SSC's and Ive only heard nothing but good from them. I plan on lowering my this spring on SSC's with the stock bilsteins, they are a great performance strut, some would say the best you could get but IDK i think maybe the AGX's are....

I'd love this setup. Maybe some day!

It's probably my favorite mod(s). It took all the body roll and that questionable feeling when cornering out of the car. The handling is a lot more linear and the car feels planted and nimble. I impress people when I can hold canyon sweepers at 90+ in a boat of a car.

Not to mention the car rides somewhat close to stock and looks sick.

What number do your ride on? I heard if you leave it on 2, then you could basically get the GR2's and have the same ride.

I had Eibach springs and AGX's on my Stratus coupe and it was a rough ride, but I only got the AGX's because I found them for the same price as GR2's. Even though it was a rough ride, the car rode like it was on rails.

Thanks.

I've always wondered, how do you adjust the stiffness of these struts? is it easy to adjust them or do you need to take off the wheels?

Nacho SS

I have them set firmer than the #2 setting and it took a little bit of getting used to before I liked them. The GR2s aren't adjustable and aren't nearly as aggressive as the AGXs.
Yes, you take the the wheel off and adjust the screw valve with a screwdriver or there's an adjustable **** on the side that dictates firmness.

dude i see you around all the time, come spring time i hold meets the more the merrier i say

i still wonder tho if the bliesteins can handle that kinda height ...

Nacho SS

iTrader: (4)

For a little while, yes they can. But when you lower a car, you put an increased load on the shock/strut to dampen the movements in a shorter stroke and with more frequency, so that tends to kill stock struts quickly.

Where do you get the ssc springs?

hmm so should i replace them with new bliesteins or should get kyb struts like yours? would those work on the gxp kyb any better?

Nacho SS

With an adjustable, you have better control and valving options on a lowered car because the shock/strut can be tailored to work better with a shortened stroke and moving with greater frequency.

If you replace the Bilsteins, they have about a 10k-15k life now with a lowered car.
