Wrong, that does not mean he has Bilsteins at all. I bet he means his GM window sticker.

Look at my window stickers:


Part of the plain SS package is "HIGH PERF. RIDE & HANDLING SUSP."...poly end links and bigger sway bar.


misc


Now you can see the SLP optioned Bilsteins which comes with Eibach springs.

I could be wrong, but as far as I know SLP could upgrade the suspension to either Bilstein or 1LE. Check the color of the shocks. I'm sure someone on here could tell you what color indicates what? My Firehawk for example has orange ones, therefore I have the shitty DeCarbon shocks Oh well. Hope that helped.
