Here are some before and after pics of my H&R Springs install along with a new set of front Struts,shocks and also needed were a set of Strut mount brackets for a peace of mind and last but not least the much needed Specialty camber bolts 81280 in order to align the rear to oem specs.  Z  :)

Please forgive my car being so dirty just been busy with back to school and all.
If you have any questions feel feel free to ask.  Z :)

Thanks man!!I know many have gone without them but in my case the rear camber bolts were definitely warranted.  Z

Vroom Vroom Vroom.  die potholes die.  perhaps the diff is not as noticeable on a PP equipped SHO?

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

CroR1

The h&r isone of the best mods. I like how the car turns in, especially given the fact that SHO is a big car. You will get to like them. When you go in a lower quality car with big body roll, makes you appreciate those stiff spring even more.

Since everything is new might just need to wait until everything settle's and adjust's accordingly,thanks. Z
BTW might need to measure the wheel gap!!!! :D

(Quick Update) and CroR1 is Spot on!!!  Here are my initial impressions!!
I noticed overall better steering response and body roll(handling) coming from a Big-Naughty-4400 lb-Girl.
I guess it all depends on the road conditions but noticed the ride is much harsher even with the new Springs,Struts,shock,combination installed and probably something I need to get accustomed too. Z  :drive:
