G2 Springs: Looking for photo/info I've been thinking about swaping my sportlines out for the G2 springs since they are being produced again. I love the stance with the sportlines and don't really have any clearance issues when it comes to overall driving or even at the drag strip. But when it comes to hard and fast corners they give the car enough roll to tap the Y-pipe. There also isn't much suspension travel, so hitting a bump at a high speed might jolt the car more then I want. So I may be looking for something that will raise the car slightly and handle better. (*Shocks are aftermarket bilstein)
So I am mostly intrested in seeing as many photo's of these springs installed on f-bodies and some person experience with these springs would also be nice.

I've had Eibachs and Bilsteins and G2s and Bilsteins. The G2s were a better handling spring while the Eibachs have better road manners on bumps and the like. Both are very nice though, but since I drive the car so little now, I'd rather have my G2 springs back. Ride height was identical between the two sets. Hit the link in my signature and then click the top picture I believe to go to my Webshots page. All the pics of the car that I have on the net were with the G2 springs on it.

mitchntx - Thanks
Bad Blu Formula - I doubt I'll mind the difference, the sportlines sometimes hit the car when going fast over little potholes.
josh99ta - In some photo's it seems like the rear gap is lower then the front? Where as mitchntx has a more staggered look (guess thats the word).

Madlce, It was slammed, maybe because it's a convert. and I have the extra 300 lbs.of weight. For some reason even with the Bilsteins the ride was terrible and I kept scraping the **** out of my T/A.
Every car is different though, good luck with your choice.
Oh and by the way your car is very clean,sharp looking f-body...love the color too.

[quote]What shocks are reccomended for this spring?[/qyuote]
Im running the koni's...they work very well....I w/n recomend using stock shocks..they'd work for a while but your gonna kill'em over a short time

Thanks for the photo's so far, and keep em coming 
.
I have another question though, how come on BitViper's and josh99ta's car, the front looks to have a bigger gap compared to the rear (*the front end is higher)? Yet amadeus and mitchntx have 'even' height?
Quick 99 - I was told by LG these springs were made to work with the bilstein hd's.

My understanding is that they work, but are not optimum.
