    I just installed the ssc lowering springs on agx struts. The car didn't lower that much. What springs drop the car lower than these ? Also what about removing the isolators would this drop it more and would it ride ok ? Thanks !

    They need to settle and take quite awhile to do it and leave the isolators alone

    SSCs on 2 month old FE3s in the sig.

    Did you take before and after measurements? Should be around the 1 3/4 to 2 mark for a drop.
    What year and style of springs you get......97, 04, or GXP set

    SSC's and Monroe struts......




    The rear dropped 5/8", and the front 1 3/16".





    And four years later....





    No current measurements, but hasn't changed much.

    I almost want to say you're going to start rubbing but I could be wrong, that looks awfully close without fully settling. I have 18's on SSC's and GR2's

    Eibachs. 18" wheels. No scraping issues at all. Others have said the ride is harsh with Eibach Pro-kit springs. Model # for w-body cars is 3865.140
