Default slp springs

Was looking at the SLP webpage and was looking at the resoration parts and was wondering if the rear level 2 was a lowering spring or just a regular spring. I was lookin into changin shocks and springs on my car but dont want to lower my car.

To answer you, those are lowering springs. If you aren't wishing to lower the car, don't change springs. Add some appropriate shocks and you'll be pretty shocked (pun definitely intended) at the difference. The OEM springs really aren't all that bad for ride or handling. The stock shocks on the other hand...... yeck.

I'd most likely put you on a set of Bilstein HD's. $349 for all 4. There are two "buts" however, Currently on national backorder (fronts), and I use an older valving that worked better than the "new and improved" one. Basically my HD's aren't the same as everyone else's HD's because I recognized there was an issue in the changed valving (and got a couple of sudden ride complaints about that time). So I reverted back to a valving I get no complaints on and used for a long time on my own car.
