Well I finally was able to score me a set of Snypers off ebay the other day and I put on my Ground Control weight jack system and I LOVE IT!!! The Snypers are 17x9 in the rear and 17x8 in the front. The only down side is the tires that came with them. 275/40R17 Rear, 245/45R17 Front Dunlop Sport 9000's. These are by FAR the worst gripping, hardest tire I've had the misfortune of driving on. The GC system is awesome, although I wish I could get the rears to go a slight touch lower. I have them bottomed out right now. So here are the pics enjoy.

Looking good! Are those direct fit Snypers? Or 4th gen offset ones?

If you want lower & your adjusters are bottomed out, your springs are too tall. Order shorter springs, but with the same rate in them. Or go for a different rate, if you want softer or stiffer springs.

That is the beauty of weight jacks. Changing spring is cheap, yet you can still change the final ride height.

They are direct fit Snypers. 5" backspace on the rear and 4.5 on the front. The front springs are 850lbs and the rears are 200lbs. The car handles like a beast now. I'm replacing the front and rear shocks tonight with NAPA sensatrac's. (yeah I know not the best in the world but screw it they're cheap and new,lol) To help with the little harshness in the ride.

looks good!

whats up with the mopar stripe along the 1/4?

I wanted to break up some of the empty space there and the stripe was it. I wanted something a little different than what everybody else has. I get ALOT of compliments for it.

the 'mopar' stripe, stance, and wheels look great... undecided on the hood though (for my personal preference)

I'm planning on getting an SS hood here very soon. I just don't have $650 bucks to get it to me right now,lol

I'm sorry for the VERY late response, I was going back through my old threads and didn't know this was replied too,lol. I'm running 850lb springs in the front and 200lb springs in the rear. The fronts are now 25 1/2 from the lip of the fender to the ground and the rears are 26 1/2. I'm becoming slightly displeased with these weight jacks as of late. It seems that they don't like to stay in adjustment for very long. I have to reset them about once every 2 months to due to them lowering themselves. Other than that the car handles wonderfully.

I haven't adjusted mine in the 2 years they've been on & if they have changed, it hasn't been enough to notice or think about. My nose goes right over parking curbs/building sidewalks which is perfect to me. Nose can't hit & is as lower as possible to still clear them. Mine is at the same 25.5/26.5 as yours & I wanna drop the rear a bit more.

Even after tightening the set screw?

I got a set of 17x8.5 Snypers with 275/40 of the same almost new Dunlop tires all round last year for auto-x. $500 the lot. The tires are a little hard. You need to get them pretty hot before they start to stick. There is a very pleasing difference when they do. Even cold they are a big improvement over the 215/65 stockers.

Where did you guys get the Snypers? I thought they were discontinued? Those have always been one of my favorite rims.

The 3rd gen fitment ones are for sure & I think even the 4th gen fitment ones are too.

I just happened to be in a local tire shop buying second hand tires and saw them sitting there.

I got lucky and found mine on ebay. I was destined to have these wheels. I just got my tax money and these are the perfect thirdgen fitament. The guy I got these from had them on his 73 camaro.
