How much do you think this car is lowered? what should be used suspension wise shocks/springs to achieve that level? Look at the gap between tires and fenders on that White SS.

Here's what I'm talking about (White SS) , it makes my SS's suspension (Red SS) look like a joke .. Well, my suspension is still Belstein SLP's that came on 96 SSs, so I know I can't compare but I want to achieve that level.

and look how bad the rim sticks outside the rear fender...
I'm sure you could get the stance you want if you got sportlines, or some coilovers.

I'm not sure how well that car drives but the T/A in my sig was that low with Eibach sportline springs when I bought it and I hated the way the car drove anytime there were bumps in the road.

If you're looking at lowering springs do a search for pics of cars with Strano springs on the board. My opinion after having two sets of lowering springs on the car is I'd not want to go any lower than the Strano springs.

advertised at 1.2" and that's jst about what I got from mine. Seems like on all my searches, that's just about what everyone gets. Very consistent springs.

Here are some thumbs of my T/A with the strano springs Unfortunately I didn't take a straight on profile shot but they'll help give you the idea of what they'd look like on your car.

Go to your local auto parts store and buy 3 ft. of 5/8"ID oil/fuelline hose.
And use 18" or enough to slide over 1 full coil on the top of each rear spring.
This will replace your upper rear spring isolator.
