For those who want to see ride height after springs (Compiled 7/22/06) 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

for what it's worth 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

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
Thanks

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.

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.
