Has any of you measured how much ground clearance you have with these springs? When I talk about ground clearnace what is the smallest clearance you have under the car to the ground? Probably either the Cross Member or the Trans-Pan.

I am thinking about getting the Pro Kit's after reading about them and most seem to agree that they feel better then the sportlines.

My Iroc has had it's springs cut the $hit out of them. The car looks wicked as it is but I have trouble driving over ants on the road.

Not sure how much was cut off them but when I measured how much clearnace I actually have I measured 2.5".

So I was wondering if I installed the pro kits how much I can expect to gain. To be on the safe side you need roughly 4".

 

I'd say that's about what I have at the trans area. I can scrape going over speed bumps but that's about it. I also scrape the air dam a lot more but they're fairly cheap. As another option, a lot of guys install Moog replacement springs that are pretty stiff but keep the stock ride height.

So you have about 4" with the Pro Kits?

 

Yeah...about 4-5". But the ride is worth it. I love it.

I'm not too sure on what the specific numbers are for my ride height, but yes, they are real nice springs. Can clear most easy speed bumps with ease and some really tall ones I have to be careful on or I scrape the exhaust. My front nose can still barely go over 99% of the curbs when I park in a parking lot. The height looks nice too.

 

Do any of you have have a picture of your car so I can see the wheel gap?

This is what mine looks like currently:

 

Sure:

 

Cool judging from that picture your back end is definitely higher buy a bit, but the front is pretty close to same as mine.

Thanks for that.

i believe ed has the 4th gen isolators. running 245/45/17 all around i have about 1.5 gap, pics next week (HOPEFULLY)

 

One last question how do the spring rates compare to IROC-Z springs? Are they softer, stiffer, or same?

I removed the 4th gen isolators, that's the car with the stock ones in it. The back does sit up a bit in that pic but I don't think it does now.

Here's the link to that whole thread:
