Looks great and i dig the tinted tails.
Question on the springs. Do you have to change the shocks/struts since it changes the travel of them?

I did not change the shocks/struts but I'm sure it is recommended. I'll deal with the setup for now. Unless something breaks.

BlownChevy, you will like taking corners at 150 mph!!!

sweet! I was wondering if the handling was greatly improved. I cannot see spending the big money on the pedders stuff if this will suit my needs. I did score those wheels here locally, I plan on having the rears widened to 10.0 - 10.5 or so once the car is lowered and I can measure it out.

Your car looks sharp!

The stance looks very nice. How is the overall ride quality affected? Love the wheels. Are they 19"?

I had Eibach springs in the back of my Avalanche, and together with the Hotchkis sways, my 3-ton SUV handled like a Corvette. :judge:

I can tell you that mine handles better, eibach did a good job on the stance with more drop in the front and less in the back. I've had mine on for at least 4 months and I think I was probably first to get a set, other then the test car. The ride is a little more harse, but, any lowered spring is gonna be that way. The cost is well over $100 dollars in savings compared to the pedders. I used that money for something else.

Good to know. The pedders vs the world attitude on here has really pushed me away from their product. ****, I am a cheerleader for Magna Charger but I am not THAT bad.

Not sure about the ride quality but the rims are 20".
front 20" x 8.5"
rear 20" x 9.5"

Nate, do you have any idea how much room is left on the inside of the rim/tire and the inner fender well?

I'm not sure exactly but even with the 20's, there is no issue of rubbing. I'm using 275 tires in rear and there seems to be plenty of room.
