Default Thanks Sam!

Mr. Stano is the Man. I got a set of Konis a couple of weeks ago, and finally got everything buttoned up today. I wish I had upgraded my shocks 50,000 miles ago, the car feels great.

Good luck at the races!

Stock springs for me. I have headers on my car (Kooks) and a catted y-pipe. My exhaust set-up hangs lower than stock, so I did not wish to compromise ride height. The roads here in New Orleans are worse than Baghdad.

I have konis with strano springs, longtubes (pacesetter), and catted y and my exhaust doesn't scrape on the terrible streets and speed bumps around me. My torque arm relocation kit scrapes (I made the mistake of getting the one with the bump in it. Live and learn).

Many folks have lowered their cars, run long tubes, and are quite happy with their set up. I've had LT's on my car since 2002, and once in a blue moon I will scrape my Y-Pipe (drivers side). No big deal, I just feel more comfortable with the stock springs.

What ever floats your boat man ...

Oh, ok. I thought you were being over cautious, but if I had already scraped with stock springs I definately wouldn't have lowered my car.

The best compromise is to do the lower perch/heater hose mod to lower the car 3/4" in the front ant 1/2" in the rear.My friend had lowering springs on his t/a and it rode too rough for me.The roads are complete **** in Southern California.It's all a mater of taste.I chose to do the perch/hose mod with my koni's and I am very happy with it.
