    Im going to be doing some Suspension upgrades to the 04 Special. I have the GMPP Swaybars and some GMPP Koni fully adjustable struts (yes the discontinued ones) and they only have 25K miles on them.

    my question is that they lower the 97-03 cars approx. 0.9 inches in the front and 0.7 inches in the rear. I know that the 97-03 springs/struts on 04+ cars have a lower than advertised drop.....but the question is how much lower??

    what is the realistic drop of the GMPP kit on the 04+?

    the car doesn't weigh that much more.

    i'd be willing to bet you get a max of 1.5" up front.

    from my understanding the GM springs are vogtlands..... I just want to know what to prepare for.....

    so 1.5 in the front....1.2ish in the rear??

    yep, GM springs are vogtland. they're a nice soft spring with minimal drop. i would say you're guesses front/rear are going to be close.

    i thought your car was already lowered? or do you have an 04+ GP that i'm not aware of?
