Default 99 SS SLP Level 2 Suspension

I'm curious to see if there are anymore 4th gens that was sent to SLP and had the suspension and exhaust done . My 99 SS has the "Sport Suspension Level 2 Package" (Bilstein) from what my build number is saying the car has the progressive rate springs , 1LE Track bar and the 1LE transmission mount . The reason I ask is to see if your car sits as low as mine does ? 8" to the bottom of my exhaust tips
Car sits 7" from the floor to the floor pan
Bilstein Shocks and Springs

Mine has the same suspension code but definitely did not sit anywhere near that low! Are you Springs sagging, did someone cut them?

No sir not to my knowledge I've owed the car since 2004 and it's always sir that low if you look at the springs they look factory doesn't seem to have had anyone cut them ....I'm thinking listening to you guys they must be sagging time for some new ones ....you guys recommend going back the same or ???

If it's the springs that are sagging I'd switch to either Strano or BMR springs.

I had the level 2 suspension on my car when I first got it also, now I have Koni/Strano setup. Mine sat low also.

Nice ride , that's what my car looks like when I peel the plastidip ..I think like others have stated my shocks need to be changed and it's possible that my springs are sagging but the ride isn't that bad typical of a sports car and it handles great . I'm gonna change the shocks and see what happens . I will update the post and let you guys know what happens . I don't mind it sitting low but it sits just a little bit too low speed bumps are a killer !
