how is the ride quality ?

 

[slowchevy]

Called SSC just now, the price is $170 + 30~ Shipping.

Not too bad.. pricing out struts now to see what I'd be getting myself into

EDIT: ZZP Has them listed for $188 but is outta stock.

I'm looking at struts.. I don't think I'd need the AGX, how are the KYB GR-2's ?

This could be a tax write off if you disguise modding your car as a promotional vehicle for your detailing business... If you claimed that income on your taxes.

 

[slowchevy]

Interesting.

 

[sp_dynasty]

got them on mine with stock struts... im really happy with them although they could be a little stiffer if your looking for something stiffer id go for a different spring

 

[FastKatt]

I'm really happy with the ride, but it is winter...
We'll see what spring brings

As for Mod's for the unemployed... Insurance claims FTW

READ MY POST AGAIN!
Struts can be purchased alot cheaper!!!

Disturbing =

I wouldn't put lowering springs on stock struts......or GR-2's for that matter. I see people post all the time that GR2's fail too easily on lowering springs. I think it's AGX's

i had thought the point of the SSC's were to be able to lower the car with the same ride quality. i thought the spring rate was rather soft....how many miles on your stock struts?

i ran sprint lowering springs with new oem struts and had no issues and they were stiff. i think they ended up dropping the car 2" up front and about 1.5" in the back.

s00ls, take 100 bucks and buy an Automotive Technology Text Book. Seriously it will teach you a LOT about what your questioning.

None the less, adding a lowering spring will ruin your stock struts. Mainly because an aftermarket spring has a higher spring rate (stiffer) and the stock strut gets warn out far quicker.

Edit: Before anyone else tries and pull crap. This is a GENERALIZATION for lowering springs on the market for all cars. IT is possible to have a similar spring rate in a lowering spring. Obviously you would need to research stock spring rate vs. that of aftermarket in which your considering.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

good thing you know about w-bodies so much. the SSC's are supposed to have similar to stock spring rates and do not have a huge drop.


there will be FINE unless your current struts are fucked up. oh and my sprint's were on for about hmmm 30K with no issues?

I never claimed to know a lot about them, I was using a generalization about most drop springs on most markets. Its rare to have a drop spring with similar rates as that of a stock spring.

P.s. I did own a W-Body about 4 years ago.

Edit: I do remember seeing s00ls posting about his struts being bad? Or something in his suspension was.

Do not cheap out on struts, you car probably needs new ones any ways. Just go with the AGX struts and new mounts. Do it once, do it right.

Disturbing = LOL

Why LOL? just because I know Rockford? or that I am going to drive over?

I see that sign in the background... Burton...

there are just so many intersections with Burton St.

unless that's not where the car is...

i have no idea. is there any way to check if they're original or something ?

the car itself has 141,xxx

I don't need something like the AGX's, I just need a basic GOOD strut. Not a racecar strut. That's a lot of money to just put out on adjustable struts that I wouldn't need

Damn.......

If your gonna drop it, why not get a GOOD unit like an AGX? There isn't a huge amount of choice for our cars
