Default SSC's installed with 275's

Well, today, I put on my ssc springs on all 4 corners.

I have the 275 tires on the fronts and everything fits no problem.

I got the 1.8 front drop and 1.6 rear drop.
Used the 97-03 gp springs and I don't have the rear sag look.

I'll post pics tomorrow, and hopefully again in a week when they settle more.

So far the ride is nice, I had these springs on my 99 gtp and I liked em, so I know they'll be great on this car.

What about temporarily swapping your front rims to the rear? I'd really like to know if those 275s fit out back before I purchase them.

Definitely not using these tires in the snow, I'll be putting on snow tires with steelies.

As for handling, it's certainly improved, tighter ride, more control, but still very comfortable.

I used the 97-03 springs on purpose, bought them new. They're the only ones with the anti-sag.

It's up to you what you get, I'm happy with them though, and I don't have the rear end sag like a lot of 04+ guys get.
