Hey guy's since I've been on the site I have noticed people ask all the time to see pics of how our F-body's sit after installing aftermarket springs. Hell even I have! Well I put this group of pics together for those wanting to know. I used pics from member's car's on this site. I saved them to my computer and uploaded them to my photobucket account. But if any of you guy's object to me using your pic's let me know and I will be glad to remove them. I hope this eliminate's alot of multiple post

Good thread.

 

Sticky

 

Cool

 

some of the pics dont work....i've been thinking of lowering my ss but i dont want it to scrape when i get my full lengths and dual exhaust.... should i leave it stock height? or do you know of any springs that are dual exhaust friendly?

 

Damn my car was dirty

 

They are all working on the computer I'm on now and the one at my house. As for your exhaust it all depends on your driving style and condition's of the road's around your area. It's possible to run G2's with LT's and True Dual's. Hotchkis and BMR's would be the best cause the drop is the least.

If you've got a good side shot you would like to replace that one with. PM it to me and I will be glad to replace it.

 

great thread, wish i'd have seen it when i was first considering dropping my ss. now i realize they are adjustable, but i thought a pic with ground control springs/coilovers might be good info for another option. so if anyone's curious, here's my .02

 

Yeah I thought about doing one. But there adjustable so you can set your ride height anyway you want it. That is the main reason I didn't put a pic of them up.

 

cool

i hope you didn't think i was trying to take over the thread, i just know that when i want to do something to/for my vehicle, i like to see all options available to me

thanks for providing a forum for information sharing

 

To make this thread really useful, like a reference when people want to lower their car, find a ton more pics.

 

No problem 02perfect

I beleive I will do that Slammed-am

If anybody has any suggestions on how to make this thread better or has any good side shot's of there car. Please feal free to PM the pics and what springs you have to me. That way I can put them all in the first post of this thread. If you just have a suggestion post it up or just PM me.

Thanks

Matt

 

Great thread, but I have one suggestion. What about including the size of the drop that each spring has. That will also avoid more questions. Just a thought.

Thanks

 

will do man. I'm going to add some more pics of each drop. Just haven't had time to.

 

Cool thread!

 

On the g2's..they advertise 1.75..but the drop was 2"

My car sits at 26.5 from the ground ito teh apex of the wheel wells.....at all corners

 

might wanna add what peoples opinions are with each spring as far as ride quality and ground clearance..etc etc.

ill start..

BMRs- ground clearance is no issue for me..Kooks LT's and subframes, never rub.
ride quality was not sacrificed which is another reason i love these springs..gave it a firmer feel yet not hard on the back if ya know what i mean.

 

where can i buy those adjustable ones? does that include shocks springs n struts?

 

Give Sam Strano a call. He's a sponsor--------->
or one of our other sponsors. Theres a bunch of options on the Ground Control Coilover's. G2 makes a set also but they are around $2000. QA1's are also adjustabe in the front and also have shock a rebound adjustment.

 

96 lt-1,

google ground control coilovers and you'll get hits for suppliers, hopefully one will be a sponsor.

all you need to be aware of is there is a kit designed specifically for your year/shock set-up.

good luck.
