I dropped my car off shortly after my last post ,I forgot to take pics of the springs before hand,anyways I didnt go for the colour option ,I chose to go with black(60 bucks cheaper),A buddy of mine works at the local pontiac dealership and is getting me a nice discount on the installation of the struts and springs.I'll take picks when i get her back .

Kyb Gr2'* and 1-1/2 drop springs installed,I kept my ccr'* and stock springs for emergency'*.The car now handles like a car and not a cruise ship. Looks also improved just but getting rid of a little of the wheel gap.I have tested car on the highway doing a 100 plus,high speed cornering and pilon style swerving,I can honestly say that I enjoy driving my car more than ever now,The gr2'* are pretty impressive and combined with the new springs and poly sway bar bushings the ride is pretty tight. I feel the road now !Unfortunately the only downside is you feels the bumps more too. But I Prefer it this way,handling has imrpoved 10 fold. ,I'll get some pics up when this torrential rains stop :(

The car sits a little lower in the rear,due the the extra weight of the stereo system,I recommend anybody that going to lower their car to get the rear springs a tad higher depending on trunk contents,My freaken sub with box is like a 120 pounds and then the amps are pretty heavy too ,the finish on the springs to me looks kinda cheap ,but then the powder coat was 100 extra canadian dollars.
