Default Ridin Low **Pic Heavy**

well i finally found time to snap some pics of my car before and after the SSC springs were installed. the ride is exactly the same as before and the handeling is def. improved. car looks a lot better too. im goin to be an attention ***** with the amount of pics but im sure most of you are used to that by now lol.


before

























after



















also found out the flex on my DP is broke..they are replacing it for free though..gotta wait another week until i can get the cutout put on the DP so that pretty much sucked.

Looks good. Are you planning on upgrading the dampers too? Or are you just going to see how the stockers hold up?

Looks good. Let us know if she bottoms out or not.

Did you wax the car before showing us the drop? Looks like 3000 coats. Very, very nice.

I'd like to do this also but the rear looking lower drives me nuts too. Is there any spacers or other ways to keep the rear end up a little? Did you have any issues getting it aligned?

Looks great! So you literally just swapped out springs and called it a day?
