I know this has been covered a bunch of times on here and things. I'm just worried about the sag of the rear. I need struts soon and what to get lowering springs at the same time. I read some of the post on gpclub. The reg kit comes with 1.7'' front/rear. I dont want a huge drop since it will be a DD.

Any thoughts or advice would be great. Thanks in advance

i have ssc's, ride very good imo, i alwayse get compliments from friends who have or had lowered cars on how nice it rides, still on stock struts.

if you think your going to sag in the rear look for the ssc kit that is lowered more in the front than the usual kit. if you search for the thread you should be able to find it

i found the thread on that kit but they are on stock rims and stock size tires. 2005gxp is that 245/45/18's at all four corners?

i plan on running 275/40/18 front and 255/45/18 rear. what drop do you have DP? is it the 1.7'' drop?

2005gxp

yes 245/45 18 on all 4 corners, was running 245/50 18 but they scrubbed the rear quarters on bumps.

I think I read somewhere that you can custom order the springs with your choice of drop height

yes there was a thread on gpclub about it from ssc but i dont know how far to drop it. it will be driven daily and dont want the sag. i was thinking of a 1.5'' rear and 2.0'' front? dont know how that would look though?

i wish i new that. i would have went a little lower lol. oh well

i think they will go all the way to a 2.5" drop but not 100% sure about that

i have 22s running a 245/30 no rubbing, and no mods needed. i love these springs.

DP is there sag? if you go with the 1.5'' rear that is only a difference of .2'' which i dont think that is much. i think the 1.5'' rear 2.0'' front is just enough to get rid of the sag and not be to low.
