Has anyone here used these yet? I just wanted to see or hear about the ride hieght and if it was changed all that much? I like the low ride hieght that I have now and if these shocks put the car up higher I won't get them no matter what deal I can get them for.:thumbsup:

Did that upgrade over the winter. Overall I think the new shocks raised my car about 1 inch maybe 1.5 inchs and my car was lowered. So I'm back to stock ride hieght. The car handles better and I hit the nose less so it was well worth the 1.5 increase. Go for it you can always lower it on longer bolts.....:sm_party:

I got them from a forum vendor GM house of parts (I think that's the name) I'll find it if you need the name. I paid under $300 for all four. Cheaper then Bilstien HD's. WHich I had on my C3 great shock.

One of my longtime Vette buddy did this with his Vette and loves them. If I recall he only spent around the $300 mark also!:sm_party:
