Default spring.question.

I know the rear on the imp SS will appear to sag a little with lowering springs, but when the rear has passengers with will it sag even lower? Or is the spring tighter to compensate. Could someone please post pics of there lowered imp SS. Thanks.

My monte has the ssc and it sags in the rear. Today with 3 kids in the back tool box and subs it was even lower almost rubbing on tires. I never have anybody in the back, today was a first.

All I ever have in the back is my 2 year old. So minus the tools and subs am I good?

I am using the SSC as well for my GXP, if you only have the kid back there you will be fine, if you ever intend to have passengers though...(if it will ride the same as the GP)...get the fender rolled...I destroyed a set of tires the first time I had passengers in the back.

I had to put my stock rears back on to avoid tire rub with just my subs. its not worth lowering the rear, it wont improve the handling much over just lowering the front. I just did a big sway bar in back and the car is better than when the back was lowered.
