I found alot of the pictures but I couldn't find pictures of BowTie Boy who bought the g6 show car that was on ebay. Also I couldn't find pictures of The_Great_m's car when it was lowered for like a week.

Place of Purchase: ZZperformance
Front Lower height: 1.4"
Back Lower height: 1.4"
Price: $159.99
Camber affect: -1
Short review: So far they have been great the ride isn't all that much different from stock some bumps and holes and uneven pavement are a lil more amplified but it doesn't really bother me at all. The only thing that you have to watch for on any lowered car especially out where I live in the country is drop offs on driveways and what not so you go slow and at a angle and its all good if you don't do it just right sometimes you cringe with the scraping sound. The car looks so much better lowered and is easier to wash also with me being really short. So far is hasn't been a problem but my rear wheels even with only a 1.4" drop has a -1 camber to it. I have a automatic and went with a 1.4" drop so I haven't had any vibration issues that the 6spd guys where having. The car handles alot better and amazed me when I attacked some corners that my car would have had some problems with at those kinda speeds before. Also with parking lots that have parking blocks I recommend backing into them since the rear still sits higher you can clear most of them even if you back all the way in. If you have a exhaust with tips like the gt-r it can be pretty close sometimes though.
Would you do it different?: No.

Camber affect: ??
Short review: Car handles extremely well, looks extremely good. Only downside is its kinda stiff on the bumps, but thats not the springs fault, it needs new shocks which arent around yet.

Front Lower height: 1.75"
Back Lower height: 1.75"
Price: $204.49
Camber affect: slight negative camber, due to amount of drop
Short review: The effect the drop had on the car's looks and handling, was amazing. The car handles much better(no body roll) with the ride being stiffer, but not harsh. Sharp bumps are felt a bit more and the overall ride quality is pretty good. You do have to be more aware of driveway dips and curbs(parking,etc.).
Would you do it different?: No

Before


After*ignore the skinny bitch in the pic-only side pic I had*


Brand: CMS Springs
Place of purchase: Canuck Motorsports store on eBay
Front lower height: about 1.5 inch
Rear lower height: about 1.5 inch
Price: $200 (w/S&h)
Camber affect: slight negative camber w/o spring inserts, almost no camber with inserts (but enough for that extra handling trick)
Short review: much better suspension, much less body roll, makes car appearance more attractive. only dislike is VERY minor viabration that you cant hardly feel (feels like normal road driving actually)
Would you do it different? Heck no!

Re: Lowered Rides...Pics w/ reviews.

How much did it cost to install the springs HotG6?

[HotG6GTP]

Re: Lowered Rides...Pics w/ reviews.

we did them ourselves so free lol

[Coupe_GTP]

Re: Lowered Rides...Pics w/ reviews.

did CMS change there springs? They had been advertised before as a 1.7" drop.

[HotG6GTP]

Re: Lowered Rides...Pics w/ reviews.

they are a 1.75 drop....i have inserts in my springs to raise it up a bit as I stated, to where I am not tucking my wheels, just even with...my personal preference, and I like the ride better this way than I did without em...again my preference.

Re: Lowered Rides...Pics w/ reviews.
