02 SS Suspension

Hey guys, im knew in the F body world, this is my first tech post. I just got an 02 SS recently, it only has 13k miles on it.

First question is, how do i know if i have an SLP SS?

Anyways i was reading a bit about the suspension and someone posted that the SLP SS's come with Bilstein shocks and Eibach's already, but the Eibachs are not as aggressive as the pro kit, but they do lower it. What is the difference in the ride height between the stock springs and the pro kit?

If i just opted for an eibach pro kit, would the current shocks be sufficient?

If i had the cash i would go with a more expensive setup, but at this point im not willing to drop 12 bills on some koni's and H&R springs.

Nope. Only cars that a certain RPO code were sent to SLP. GM put the hood, spoilers and badges on at the factory.

Re: 02 SS Suspension

All the cars were sent to SLP. The SS package was more than just the Hood, spoiler and badges. I visited SLP in 99 with a local Camaro club and got a tour of their set up. They were doing everything. And if only some of the SS cars were sent to SLP, how come all the SS cars have the SLP authentication sticker on the door jam???

look on you RPO sticker: RPO WU8 is for the SS Package, the car was build at Ste. Therese plant and shipped to SLP for modification....

RPO Y3B is for the RS Package Through SLP
RPO Y2Y is for SLP 2nd Sticker Content

RPO Z4C was for the 35th anniv. Edition.... available on SS coupe and ss convertible

Re: 02 SS Suspension

ok so my SS does have the "WU8" on the parts sticker.

So as for my second question. Would the car feel like garbage if i threw on an eibach prokit?
