RE: Lowering springs w/ stock shocks?

Well, I dropped mine 1.5" with Steeda Sports and I'm not out by 1/2".

Like others, I'm running Steeda's with stock shocks and think the ride is fine.

Here are a couple of before and after shots to give you an idea of how much it will drop and how it will look.

Top pic is before, bottom is after (hopefully thats obvious).

the ride is not to bad, I have to hit a big bump fast to bottom out and I live in Alabama so the roads are not the best...

I would go with the same kit if I had to do it again....I love the stance of the sportline.

Mine are FRPP lowing springs only. Im riding on 20s with about 1.5" up front and a little lower then1.5" in the rear. Lost a little of the ride but not anything that I cant handle.

I put Eibach Pro-Kit on stock shocks and it's awesome. Great ride and no problems at all, except that i have a Roush so the front fascia is low and have to be careful not to scrape when i enter driveways.
