Best of all, you can still retain your current drop springs with the SS kit and you'll get and extra 1" drop at all 4 corners (total of 2" drop).

The SS kits will set you back about $500-600. Add that to the cost of your DF210 drop springs and the total would come out to less then a set of coilovers or air.
im not a fan of bodykits... the most i would do is a front lip... preferably this one...

Just make sure that your getting what you pay for because i know for a fact that they don't make them anymore.
it's possible that someone could have a new set laying around just check to be sure they're what they say they are

I think you may have mistaken the SSkit for a bodykit. It's actually a drop kit (drop brackets). Here's a link to my SSkit install.

Word that's why you have to use the beater in this weather.

Hey Teamplayer, I remember reading that thread. Any changes to the ride? Are you still on those HRE's and the Tein cs's? the reason I ask is cause I am on CS's as well and rollin 19's. I would like to up em to 20's but the "economy," you know? So I have been thinkin bout the ss kit ever since your thread. I know you are a tech, but any ideas how much it might run to get the ss kit installed?
to the op, not trying to thread jack. so my apologies
if so.

The SSkit is something like spacers if you want to think of it that way..how it works is 2 spacers go in the front and a bracket goes over the rear lower strut mount and it basicaly pushes everything upward so when you put the car back on the ground it's lower...i hope you can figure out what i'm trying to say, it seems technical but it's really not.

the SSkit works with stock 17inch rims or higher and stock suspension, aftermarket springs or coilovers.

P.S. I had pics of my car with the SSkit on stocks but i deleted my photobucket. i'm running my SSkit with stock springs and it rides beautiful.
i will be putting teins on nextyear with my SSkit.

I would leave it where it is now. Plus it appears that your camber is still correct. Looks perfect! Save them dollars$$$$. Later!
