I've got stranos on the way but just wanted to see what you guys think. As it sits I've got the hose mod and rear bilsteins.

You should buy a Lamborghini Aventador instead.

I figured everyone would say lower it. I just had a worker at autozone tell me I'd be taking away from the looks if I did so I thought I'd ask. I just had true duals put on by a bastard exhaust shop so I'm going to have to have someone do some fabricating for a little more clearance once its lowered. Thanks everybody.

Also I'm running a 275/40/17 and a 315/35/17 out back and it'll never be on the road in the snow lol. To much invested to let it rust.

...worker at autozone. That's like a walgreens employee giving you surgery advice. Are the Stranos 1.1 or 1.5 drop? I put cheapies on mine, because I'm broke, that are a 1.5 drop. I love the way it looks. And with replacing the 150k shocks and struts the ride doesn't feel much worse than it did before.

Lower it. I put a 2" drop on mine and it looks amazing. Money well spent.

honest with stranos your duals should be fine, my tsp duals tuck up very well , better than the y pipe setup, who the hell says that lowering it will wreck the look of a car lol, oh some moron at autozone or walmart lol
