Does anyone know if this will work out? My rear fender lips are already rolled in but I saw some pics that made the G2's look quite low in the rear.
I'm understanding the G2's very stiff out back so will it be ok with Bilstein HD's?
Any pics?
TIA

hmm looks like I'll probably be ok. Especially since I looked at my current situation closely (cut stock springs/shocks) and I'm a little lower than I though. Since the G2/bilstein combo will be stiffer (right?) I shouldn't bottom out any more than I am now. ...right?
Thanks for the responses

With that said, I see no problem with getting G2 springs, just be aware that if you are to get a high performance spring like those, be prepared that you'll need shocks that are up to the task. IMHO, regular Bilstein HD's are absolutely out of the question, since even Bilstein themselves are adamantly against using anything but OE spec springs. Bilstein revavles are okay, but last I checked with Bilstein, there are warranty issues when a revalve is done. Koni SA's will be another alternative but the price may push you to the brink of your budget.

hmm... looks like I'm back to square one! lol
Thanks a lot for the responses. I was going to go ahead with the Bilsteins because on the LG website, Lou says he liked the combo but I guess that's just advertising.
Hmmm what to do...

Are those 17x11 on all 4 corners? What tires are those?
Thanks for posting the pics that helps a lot.
The car should ride at the same height with Bilsteins right? I know the Koni's are supposed to be "insanely awesome" but on my budget, I'll be everjoyed with "really good"

If you are planning to run 11's out back and 9 or 9.5's up front, I would suggest running a larger rear bar like the 22mm Strano, or maybe even the big Hotchkis or a thurdgen 24mm.
