New Guy Here....2004 Silverado RST...
Hey Guys/Gals,
Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Sean and I am from NY. I have a 2004 Chevy Silverado RST. The truck is 5spd RWD. It is Full Bolt On + Cam, Injectors Ported TB and Ls1 Fans electric fans. My suspension is Currently Ground Force (1.3'' Drop) Front Coils, 1" Drop Shackle and 2" Drop Hanger in the Rear with the overload spring removed and KYB Monomax Shocks. I have Hotchkis Front & Rear Sway Bars completing the suspension. My rear is a 3.73 with Detroit TruTrac LSD with a Moser Diff Cover. To help with traction I have 265/50R20 Front and 295/45R20 BFG KDW Tires with Caltracs. My exhaust is Pacesetter Long-tubes through a Magnaflow Muffler with the option to open an electric DMH Cutout
. I installed a Hurst Short Throw Shifter to tighten up the gear changes. The truck had oversized Baer Eradispeed Crossed Drilled Slotted Rotors on all 4 corners using factory calipers and Stainless Steel Braided Brake lines I just put in last night. The truck was tuned by Black Bear Performance.
I have New Hotchkis 2" Drop coils arriving today to switch out with my Current Ground Force Coils. I hope to stiffen up the front suspension while lowering it another 1/2" to 3/4". I have also tossed around the idea of lowering the rear another inch using the other hole in my drop Shackles.
I plan on autocrossing the truck and will be taking it to Englishtown's road course school in the coming week.

Thanks! Got the New Hotchkis 2" Drop coils in tonight. Truck is actually sitting 3/4" higher now. Hopefully the springs settle down a bit. Found out while doing the springs that both my front shocks are shot, ordered a set of Belltech Street Performers to throw in there.

Nice truck! Usually coils will settle down some after a few hundred miles. Hopefully that's the case.
