Finally lowered the goat....
...H&R Springs and Koni Adjustables (didn't measure before, but it's advertised as a 1.4" front and 1.2" rear....also have a 10mm spacer in the rear). These Koni's are a lot of fun to mess around with. I still can't believe I waited this long to do it. What's funny is the GTO guys are going to think it's SUPER LOW, yet it's still the highest car i've owned 
The ride is great, with the koni's at soft the ride is as smooth as stock but the handling is 100% improved....stiffen up the shocks and it's a blast. I've only spent an hour in the car (had a busy weekend with some storage moving)...but will start tweaking it to find out the differences.
However, full firmness on the rear causes A LOT of oversteer

before
i've had some request for my monaro front since I painted the emblem, here it is..
and a surprise we recently finished....the car was FILTHY so I didn't take any "real" pics

you don't need to be low to get rid of body roll.....must do 0" drop upgrades that are really good

LOL, I wonder how the interior is going to look like...

I had a CL before..........I guess I like bland looks......
Aggressive styling isn't what I like
interior works for me
I spend 100% of my time inside the car......so power, interior are my main concerns...

You haven't been on this block long enough to know that it's not wise to:
1) Piss into the wind
2) tug on Superman's cape
3) Dis a MegaMod's ride
You're lucky CLPower has been semi-castrated by marriage because the old CLPower would have eviscerated you in the town square.

It's always best to qualify something as "in my opinion" when you are ragging on their ride. We are more tolerant of opinions than dogmatic trashing for its own sake.

Let me know when I can send you my '66 Fastback so you can finish it for me, because I sure as hell don't have the time....or the money!

yea, just twist a knob at the top of the shock tower, how do you adjust your PSS10's?
Damn you I've been saving for Konis and it hurts to not have them yet. Looks good, though the drop is more subtle than I thought. I think I liked it more with the spoiler though.
The GTO has a way nicer interior than ANY Hyundai. Not to mention it has 400 horsepower and very likely outhandles all of them too... oh and another thing it looks better too. Whats next, do you think its a chick car, like the 335i? 
Someone ban this Hyundai dick-riding queerio. Raise your hand if you like msl82.
Whoever raised their hand =
