SS lowering kit

I just got a new '09 SS in black.. I am installing the GM performance kit, and am looking for a kit, I'd like to drop the car another couple inches. I can't seem to find one anywhere..

Pedders offers drop springs for the SS, about a 1" drop.

Might really want to check where you drive first if youi just got you SS.

If I lowere my SS there are many places I could not pull into including my driveway.

The nose over hang is larger than most cars and in normal driving the lost of an inch may make a big differance to many drivers.

A drop would look good but scapping issuses may be a problem.

THe SS woujld be prime for a air suspension from Air Ride. Not cheap but it will make driving so much eaiser and they handle great.

I HIGHLY doubt that the ProKit would lower the SS an inch, it only drops the Cobalt SS/TC a half in the back and nothing up front, the Sportlines drop just over an inch front and back and ride smoother than stock, Pedders are supposed to ride the same, I have a set of Pedders coming for my Balt.

I can't imagine having the SS any lower.

If you plan on driving it in the winter in Mississauga you may want to rethink... The front dam already pushes snow if you get More than a couple of inches!
