Thanks, the stance is great, aggressive but not slammed. Assuming you can get over the curb heading into driveways with that.

I am going to pull the trigger on this kit. Pricier than BMR, but if you go price a new set of coil overs and compare it isn't out of line at all. They are GM parts and are designed to work together. Can't compare them in real life situations but this works for me.

As for now, even with my Maggie the dealer has left my warranty in place. A Chevy dealer installed by Maggie. I am sure if there are drive line issues I will be leaning on the Maggie warranty but for now I am safe on the rest of the car, and I don't want to push my luck.

No problems. I have a fairly angled driveway and no problems. Curb stops are hit and miss. I just clear most, but some are taller.

GM says 22mm or roughly 7/8"

I'll post some pics tomorrow with various angles.

Also, thanks for the detailed feedback on the suspension kit!
I'll get some more posted tomorrow

Thanks for the help on this, parts are ordered but put on backorder. Just for reference in Nor-Cal found a shop (good) that will install shocks and sway bars for $650 including alignment. My dealer wanted $1,100 for the install if I bought the parts at list price from him, so between GM Parts Guy and the local shop, save a bundle.

GlenB can you get a ride height measurement for me. I have a suspicious feeling that the SS I bought has this installed.

Front at wheel lip centered 28""

Rear 27 1/2" centered

Kit has black shocks/struts/springs. They have GM markings but they dont cross to anything

Looks good glenB... appreciate all the info. Planning on doing this next, local GM dealership quoted me just over $2k for parts and install for the combo. Seams reasonable enough anyway.

Thanks for the measurements. Looks like I don't have it but the car doesn't have that 4x4 look like others that I have seen.

That's a much better price than my GM dealer quoted me. I bought my parts from GM Parts Guy and am using a local shop to get that price ($1,800 total), my GM dealer was going to be nearly 3k. Just waiting on parts.

Thanks, I called them and fortunately I ordered the right part #. Still another week out or so.
