Steeda all the way around on my ride. Great folks to deal with. Very happy with the setup car handles great. American made parts which I though was awesome as well. Brandon was the internet rep, you can find him here in the suspension section or steeda, great to deal with and a great price.

Did the same thing, plus AM gives you a discount for being a forum member. On a side note, will the ride get better if/when you change the shocks and struts?

keep in mind, if you go this low, you pretty much need the extra bits I ordered.

Are those stance rims?

Thanks in advance!

1" and 1.5" is a good stance. I bought just the 1" roush springs (rear only) and the rear was a little lower than the front so, 1" and 1.5" will level as well as closing in the gap. Check out www.americanmuscle.com and review submitted photo's on all the spring sets. Sport lines go pretty low as well, but may be a little low depending on where you live/drive.

YOu have a 35K car... do it right... buy shocks and struts too!
