    Can someone rattle off the front and rear stock ride height of an 04 GP. I've got Bilsteins on my car, and just put SSC's on, and while I know the suspension has to settle, it doesn't appear to have dropped much....if any.

    that's because you bought SSC.

    i would guesstimate about a 1.2" drop.

    Well they are 97-03 SSC's so I figured maybe they would offset the height addition of the bilsteins, but they didn't much.

    Bilsteins will not let the SSC's settle to their full height.

    And again...There is exactly NO difference between 97-03 and 04+ springs. They are all exactly the same. We use the exact same strut and strut top mount all around

    Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.

    See now, I was under the impression from a couple posts I read on here that if you used SSC's made for 97-03 on an 04 that it would sit a bit lower since 04+ is a heavier car.

    Thats why you can't read everything off ZZP (thats where the information came from, not directly but it was inferred, they are there to push products you don't really need, remember they have to make money), the springs are all the same, all the same spring rate.

    I would like to feel the Bilsteins with SSCs

    How low did you want to go.
