As a few of you chatbox regulars already know I fitted a set of HM Headers & HI Flow cats to the SSV yesterday. But seeing that it started to hail just as I picked the car up, tonight was the 1st chance I had to take it for a spin.
I must say that even though I really like the note that the Powersound Catback puts out the car sounds even better now. It definitely feels stronger in 1st, 2nd & 3rd under WOT. Will be keen to get it back to Chev's dyno to see what the gain is. Here are some pics
Out with the not so old looking Standard Headers & Cats
In with the not so New looking 2nd Hand HM Headers & Cats

very nice, that ride height looks really good with the stock tyres and rims. How much did you chop her by?
yeah how much did you lower it by??
For some reason mine dropped lower than most of the other guys that used the Lovell's SL , It ended sitting 35mm lower which for me personally was way to low, since then I have taken the Lovell's out & fitted intermediate Pedders which raised it back up about 15mm. Much happier now as I dont think it was practical having it that low for where I live with the condition the roads are in, also very hard not to scrape the front which I hate doing.
so you have put in the lows not superlows, did u have to buy a camber/caster kit??
I have replaced the Lovell's SL with the following
Pedders Sports Ryder Coils
Fronts - # 2956
Rear - # 2957
Going off the Pedders Brochure the front lowers 20mm & the rear Lowers 25mm.
No kits of any kind purchased, dont think you need to.
Now that I have had both brands I can say that the Lovell's are definitely a softer or closer to standard ride, but coz mine was so low I was hitting the bumps stops & when you hit a decent bump you knew about it. The Pedders in general a firmer ride but the car car feels much bette to drive now.
Paul
have you got current pics?? so u just have to pay for the springs??
Yes just the springs , The going rate for the Pedders is about $650 fitted. Yes m8 I have some updated pics I can post some up if you like or e-mail them ?.
P.S Pedders also have these springs which will drop it about the same as the Lovell's
Sports Ryder Coils
Front # 2954 - Lowers approx 40mm
Rear - # 2955 - Lowers approx 45mm
P.S.S Make sure they transfer the coil covers over to which ever you buy otherwise you will get knocking noises Like I did.
