Just add lowering spring

Just picking up my lowing springs from Granatelli Motor sports should have picture up by end of day

Sweet! Can't wait to see it installed. Are you going to get aftermarket wheels or stay OEM?

 

[evilss]

well oem for now but still dont know what rims i want to put on the car

 

[evilss]

WOW it looks AMAZING 1.25 in the front and 1.4 in the rear handle like a little better imo but it could just be me will post pics in the next hour

whoah, that's low! What brand of springs is that?

 

[slivoman]

Can you post a pic directly from the side? So far it looks killer

 

[LS1hawk]

Liking the stance!

 

[Boosted]

That looks phenomenal! Definitely need more pictures from different angles.

Looking at their website no lowering springs are listed, are you the prototype car?

 

[SS BW]

[GXPaycheck]

1.25 in the front and 1.4 in the rear

Are the numbers mentioned as quoted by Granatelli (pre-installation), or based on actual before & after measurement?

Was the car measured before new springs were installed?

Any noticeable change in ride, or any indication of bottoming or porpoising?

Was the car even measured before new springs were installed?

Any noticeable change in ride, or any indication of bottoming or porpoising?

based on actual before & after measurement

yes the car was measured

Imo it rides better, i live By Mulholland canyon and i took it up and down it feels a little tighter to me but that could just be in my mind that its that way

no bottoming or porpoising

 

[Navy Lifer]

Thanks - do you know what Granatelli's predicted/target numbers were for the spring change?

Were these springs produced solely/based on SS, or to also use on G8?

loooking good.

Well it probably depends on if you have the spare in the trunk but idk what it was suppose to be. I only know what it is. I can say it did what they said it would do. And YES they said that they were designed specifically for the SS. I asked about lowering springs for my friends G8 and they said they could help there as well but they are not the same springs.

Looks great, I like it!...:thumbsUp:

Those looking at dropping their SS, don't forget to time your bushings for the new ride height or have the shop do it.

 

[Maverick Man]

looks much better!

^^^ those are good questions....

true test of bottoming is drive it down Olympic between western and La Cienega. no joke!

to me since coilovers have become so readily available these days... that is all i will use now. with just spring you will just kill your stock struts. they just don't work properly with a compressed spring. but then again it just looks better so that makes up for it! lol!
