Looks great :thumb:  H&Rs, from the looks of it?  How much did it affect alignment?

hey thanks guys!! I haven't been on much lately (been beating on the SHO) haha!

It is a H & R kit. it for sure lowered the rear about 1.5 inches and a inch up front.. its perfect now i think for such a tall car from the factory! I can finally wipe the roof with out standing on my dirtbike stand haha!

I haven't had an alignment yet.. tires are toast anyways from being at 2 autocross events in the last month so just letting the springs settle in for a week then will get it aligned..

Next mod is on order.. Braelin BRO4 20x8.5  wheels and 245/45-r20 Pilot Super Sports.. was gonna do 275/40 but decided to stick stock this round to see how the lightweight wheel and tire combo feels!

I like to also lower my SHO but in my other car it was a pita to remove and install the Bilstein and Eibach springs which lowered it about 2 inches,I apologize being a little off topic.

I was surprised how easy it was.. I did all 4 corners in about 4 hours without trying really hard!

I think I've seen some of you guys do it...but, how does it look with just a set of the springs on the rear? The front looks a little low for me. But I'd love to ditch that awful rake from the factory. Is it evened out with the springs in the rear? But, adversely, I wouldn't want the ass end to look like there's 5 dead hookers in the trunk...

Some folks have run just the Eibachs in the rear, just H&Rs back there might be too much.

Eibach may look better in the rear only as I hear they don't go as low.
