I cant find the thread for the life of me, but I was wondering how long you had to wait for the springs? If I remember correctly you went with 2.0" in the front and kept the ssc offered drop of 1.7" for the rear, is that right?? Did we ever get pics of this, I'm thinking so, but once again I cant find the thread.
What's the quickest way ordering these bad boys anyhow? I've checked out SSC's site and it seems you have to call them, no online purchasing available? I guess I'd have to call them if I do the custom route anyhow, but I'd just like to know what payment options are available.

I went with a 2.5" drop in the front and 2.0" in the rear. A 0.3" drop difference isn't much, nor is a 0.5" difference.
I am waiting for my 1.5" springs for the rear to achieve that 1" difference.
I honestly cannot remember how long it took to ship (maybe a week or so). I'd hold off on the purchase until this kit is complete. For what it's worth, 2.5" in the front is golden.

EDIT: It looks like they updated their website for the GXP. I would honestly not recommend anyone to purchase that set until I get in touch with them tomorrow. I have an empty trunk and am the only person who uses my vehicle. In my opinion, 2.0" in the rear is pushing it when it comes to a loaded trunk and rear seat.

You can't find the thread because it's on ClubGP: http://www.clubgp.com/newforum/tm.asp?m=5219527

No not yet. That'll be an August project. I'm still working on getting my two extra 18x8 Alcoas (soon). If I buy 275s, I rather put them on my extra 18x8s versus messing around with my current 18x8s (don't worry, it makes sense to me, lol).
It should help the look. The 0.5" difference I have at the moment is pretty damn good, but I can still see a slight sag. The sag by no means has to do with the springs, but with the way the vehicle is shaped. Especially our rear rocker panel and rear bumper.
My rear 1.5" are in the works and I should get them in a week or two (I hope, lol). Their website should be updated as well.

i have the original ssc springs, advertised drop is 1.7 front/1.5 rear for my car. the springs listed for the gxp are 1.7 front/1.7 rear. the springs you went with are 2.5/2.0.
when are the springs available? and are they being made for monte carlos or gxps only? the p/n is different between the two cars. the last update on ssc's product database is January 2009.

i wanted to see if the car sags in the rear with the 2.5/2.0 springs? cause if i do lower it i dont want it to look like it sags in the rear but i dont want it so high in the rear that it makes it look funny
