i put the SSC 1.7" lowering springs on my GXP last weekend (5 days ago) and have been checking the progress of them settling in. at first i wasn't very happy at all because it was barely lowered, but by the 2nd day it was noticeable. The springs are made for the regular GP and i didn't know if it was going to make my car sit high or make it super low, but i took a shot and went with it. I measured the height before i put them in, and like i said been watching it all week. its slowly going down, which is good, but its no where near the 1.7" mark yet. ill put up my before and current numbers and update it next weekend to see how it is after 2 weeks of sitting on them. Id realistically like to see 1.25-1.5 in the front and 1.25 in the rear

before

DF - 28 5/8"
PF - 28 1/4"

DR - 29 1/4"
PR - 29 1/4"


current (5 days after install, 3 days of driving)

DF - 27 3/4"
PF - 28 1/2"

DR - 28"
PR - 28 1/4"


so far..

DF - 7/8"
PF - 3/4"

DR - 1 1/4"
PR - 1"

for $200 to your door, they are hard to beat for something that does help the looks and handling of the car.
