well i finally found time to snap some pics of my car before and after the SSC springs were installed. the ride is exactly the same as before and the handeling is def. improved. car looks a lot better too. im goin to be an attention whore with the amount of pics but im sure most of you are used to that by now lol.

before

after

also found out the flex on my DP is broke..they are replacing it for free though..gotta wait another week until i can get the cutout put on the DP so that pretty much sucked.

That's more than reasonable pricing to have them installed. For that money, I'd have paid it, too! Car looks good...very good.

That looks great. I wish I could convince the wife to let me lower ours. She says my 6" dropped silverado is enough for lowering.

Really nice though!!!

Even at stock ride height, I was ALMOST too low for a parking curb at Office Depot a few months ago. I freaked out when I came back and looked at my car and discovered I couldn't even get a piece of paper under the front bumper. :shock:

That just means your not low enough. When you're scraping control arms and subframe then you're low enough :mrgreen:

Instead of measuring lowness in scratches on the bumper, it should be measured in number of oil pans you go through.... ask me how I know :lol:

Honestly though, the car looks awesome now and what a steal on install price.
