wanting to lower my ss tc
im tired of my car looking like a monster truck sitting so high. i know the ssc springs are great cuz they have a decent drop and good ride quality. anybody know anything about the B&G springs? I havent heard much about the ride quality or drop on those. not sure what direction to go. and will it be too hard on my stock struts on the ss? and will it make my toe or camber go all out of whack? thanks in advance!

A lot of people go with the SSC's or the Eibach sportlines, both are good springs, and give a nice drop

I think eventually your struts will give out

Your probably better off to just save up a tad more and get a nice set of coilovers

Eff your sportlines. I was all about 'em when i first got them but here's what you have to look forward to after a year or two (car also had stock FE5 struts that that never gave out somehow)
[/QUOTE]
Just drop save your coin and get coilovers. I got rid of these for coils last week and i'm wondering why i didn't do it 5 years ago

You'll be fine for a bit. I used to preach about how awesome sportlines were but over time the ride became rougher and i climbed underneath one day this year to find that crap. Besides, if you've had them before you know a little about what to expect. Enjoy what you have now but start putting some money aside for coils

I actually like the handling, Just the bumpiness of the ride is what gets me.
