    So a few days ago i got the new suspension in. It took me all day and shed some blood but it was worth it! The new setup includes...SSC springs and KYB GR2 struts w. all new hardware and anti-pogo washers.

    -Before the mellow drop in height




    -New GR2's and ssc springs installed


    ^LoL I pushed down and it didn't come back up.



    ^Nothing like a community supporting sticker to finish the job.


    ^Blazertech foglights to match silverstar bulbs.

    All too familiar scene... lol. Well done. I'd look into some trans/engine mount spacers to get rid of the axle vibrations that you might be getting.

    YEah, nothing over 18's. Over that and the tranny starts to take a beating. I wouldn't go over a 17, but that's just my opinion. I had 18,s on my GTP and could feel a little power lose from them, so I put them on the wifes GT sense it's slow anyways.lol!!!!

    thanks guys, I figured id post pics in case someone else was going the same route. I was planning on rims but i would want something light weight, and i cant find a place that advertises their wheel weight. I had 17's in mind but not until i have the Gen V top swap in.

    And yes the ride is a bit harsh, with GR2's you feel everything, A big difference in the turns, car is extremely stable, no body roll what so ever but if i wanted comfort i would have gotten all new oem stuff
