    Default Lowering

    Hi guys,

    new to this, Ive recently purchase a 05 VZ ss 6sp manual and im very impressed!

    I wanted to have the car a bit lower but i dont want it slammed. does any one have any photos of their cars on SSL springs?

    And whats the suspension stiffness like when driving?

    Cheers Jacob

    Mine is on 20's, SSL. No other suspension mods.

    Edit: sorry, photo is upside down for some reason.

    Not bad, I actually like it because it doesn't dive into gutters as much. Going to 20" is much rougher than getting stiffer springs. The roughness is from the lowered shockies, if you get the Munroe lowered set like mine they are soft but bottom out more.
