I have bmr lowering springs on mine. Sitting on 245/45/17, from ground to top of wheel well is 26ish inches in front and 27 in rear. Looks tight and leaves about 5 inches to the bottom of the car from the ground. I guess. Haha I'm right about to do lts and 3 inch exhaust too hoping for the best

I have stranos. I've only scraped my borla XR1 muffler 2 times and it hanged lower than my y-pipe. BMR is also another good choice to give you a good stance. Too loo looks like ***.

Definitely go with strano, they aren't as "slammed" as the Eibachs for good reason. He knows his stuff and they are quality springs. I have a Eibach prokit that has been on the car for a while. They wear out quick and end up actually being a good 2" lower than stock. Rides rough and does nothing for handling.

I have the Koni 4/4, Strano springs and various UMI parts for my car and couldn't be more pleased. I didn't know an F-Body could handle so well. I've had the Eibach Pro-Kit and KYB AGX's on one of my previous F-Bodies and, while it was okay, it can't hold a candle to the setup I have now. Night and day difference.

Do yourself a favor and do it right the first time. It may be more expensive but in the end you're saving money from having to redo it.

And honestly with free shipping, I don't think strano springs come out to be any more expensive that other brands. Regardless they definitely are quality, unlike the Eibachs (my bump stops hate me).

Koni's are next for me, but those are definitely more expensive, may be a few pay checks lol
