If anyone was debating on doing the setup, here's how the car will look/stand.

I figured a few people out there would be interested!

Well, you just need to buy the struts, boots and the springs. I purchased the struts and boots from Monsterpartsonline for something like $1150 shipped to zip 13662. You will re-use the rubber gromet that sits under the spring from your old strut, as well as the mount and the metal sleeve that sits in the mount (a cylinder looking thing).

No other modifications required....

BTW, I have a set of 2004+ SSC springs for sale. They are used w/ approx 3500 miles (put on in FEB, removed w/ switch to Bilsteins).

Looking for $150 + shipping from 13662 zip (I'll ship state side)

Thats a lot of money for the Bilstein struts. The CompG struts are less than half that amount, and they are probably pretty close in ride & handling.

I'll be honest, it's night and day between the two.......

the SSC springs are those the lowering springs or something else? I might be interested.... i only live like 12 miles from 13662 (Waddington) so you wouldnt have to ship them :lol:

They are lowering springs... Probably drop 1.5" on your car with the struts... 13662 to me, is Massena... is that a lot further?
