Default SSBeautiful!

First of all, I'd like to thank:

Andrew
FP
Maxcichon
Blackcrossfire6spd
Cwsrt6
Needswings (Rob)
and Peter from GetYourWheels.com (these guys really know what they're doing. The offsets and sizes are perfect as always!

I used the Auto Craft Shop at the local Army base. Full lift, just about any tool you can imagine, and assistance if necessary; all for about 5 bucks an hour. I did everything completely by my self. I looked at all the other posts, but decided to use the procedure outlined in the SRT6 ship manual except that I didn't use the spring compressor. Instead, I used two 5' screw jacks (used for jobs like this and for dropping transmissions and etc. I'll post how the install went in the appropriate forum. Yes, the springs will settle quite a bit more; I just took it off the lift when these pics were snapped. For now, here is the result:

Koni Yellow adjustable shocks, Eibach Springs, and 19 x 8.5 (front) and 20 x 10 (rear) Mandrus Milleniums with Falken F452s.


Goodies

Goin' up on the lift

Great results, worth the wait. The wheels look super on the SSB. What size rubber you running on the 20's?

Mandrus does make 18s and 19s. I'm not sure of those offsets, but there are several members on here with those sizes. Do a search for "Mandrus." These wheels look good in the sizes you mentioned; however, IMO they just don't look that stunning. These wheels completely transform once you go up a size.

The car rides excellent! Much better than stock even with the lower profile tires. I've got the shocks set at a 1/4 turn from full soft. There is some body role, but it is comfortable. Once you go firm though, the car handles awesome!

Thanks everyone! Those pics were just quick, blurry shots. I apologize for that. I'll be away on business for a while, but as soon as I get back and the weather is nice, I'll post some better shots with a steadier hand!
