Hey guys, Simple question this.

Can anyone tell me if GT billies ride at the same height as standard wagon suspension?

Cheers

Pretty sure they ride a bit higher, at least on my 2.0R they did so would be the same on the 2.5 N/A.

How much higher were they roughly?
Also, what was the ride like once they were in if you don't mind me asking?

I had Swift springs on mine and the front end height was about the same as standard spec. I had 9mm spacers in the rear to even out the drop. You can see pics in my profile thread.
The ride was definitely firmer (but still comfortable) than the stock struts and springs but I couldn't say how much that was from the springs or the Bilsteins

Interesting. What springs are they and how much are you looking for?
