Witt

I haven't and I'm not content with keeping it stock height. I'm justifying driving a lowered car or having crap handling.

ok just because you lower your car doesnt mean you can "go around turns real fast"

zzzzzzzz

bigger wheels and sticky tires with less sidewall would be best, less sidewall=less roll, then go to messing with springs or another form of lowering the car while retaining the right camber, toe, and such

I haven't lowered mine and I was just thinking about how it would look lowered after I washed my car a few min ago. I don't think it looks all that good lowered w/ stock rims.

I'm not touching the ride height on the SS/SC... I already have to crawl around entrances and exits around here... not to mention the 3" deep pot holes around here...

i havent lowerd my car, bc, i just dont see the need
it handles great with my sport suspension, i dont see a need to ruin that for 'looks'

RaineMan

If you want suspension upgrades... they make strut bars... sway bars... dampners... stuff like that... you don't have to drop a car to get good handling.

i like the way my sedans back sticks up ........ i guess im getting to old

bogout

Keep it stock then

zzzzzzzz

yes and going to get some sway bars and struts and shocks

cashstacker

I want a drop but refuse to touch the springs until I can find a nice pair of struts mabey coilovers for it. I doubt stock struts will last long with a drop.

careful with sway bars they can hurt you more than help sometimes

Cobalt_Supercharged

When lowering a car you have to remember to change the bump stops, shocks/struts, caster, camber, and toe to make it truely perform better and properly. I love seeing cars that are slammed to the ground but have done nothing to adjust the alignment. You know the ones where only half the tread touches the ground because the camber is so far out.

If you want to stiffen up the car and reduce body roll, strut bars and sway bars are the way to go.

Also remember that by dropping the rear, to level the car, transfers weight off the drive wheels and will hinder traction when launching.

zzzzzzzz

in what ways

Cobalt_Supercharged

Too stiff and it will actually prevent the suspension from flexing and the inside wheels can start to lift and reduce grip.

Gran Turismo 3 has a great explination of it in the "Suspension upgrade" menu.
