Got the SE lowered finally.
Got me some used Eibachs.
And some new KYB's.
Oh...got the pogo mod from the dealer too.....Got it all done up today...front took bout an hour and the rear took an hour 45 minutes.
No pogo.....and no vibration at all. Handles great too.
lowered the front about 2 inches and the rears between 2 1/8 and 2 1/4........
Looks good.
I know I know...PICS.... I will take some tomorrow and get them on here...I PROMISE...LOL

That's awsome! Does it feel like it's riding on a rail? ...and all ready for TMS too. What about the exhaust? Are you getting Daves?

Mine broke thought about a month after I had my KYB's installed.

Hey Texas,
Where'd you get the KYB's? Did you get them through the deal with clubgp and performance parts?

now that you guys mention it i lowered my car too. but ever since i lowered it got this terrible vibration when taking off from a stop
i ordered kyb struts and they are on their way. i'm thinking that the axles got something to do with it. but anyways i was reading what you guys were chatting and what's in the "pogo mod" and where can i get one??

Also...what springs did you use...???
And do you get a loud thump in the rear? Like something is bouncing around when you hit a bump?

Check all the bolts. When I installed my GMPP handling kit, I forgot the tighten one of the rear sway bar bolts. Made a nasty clunking noise.
