From the pictures I have seen I do not believe either the Strano or the BMR springs will get you as low as your Trans Am was. You WILL however, have a better ride quality. There was a recent thread where a guy had Strano Springs but also BMR 1" drop A-Arms in the front. Looked perfect IMO and may get the front of your car somewhere close to the one pictured. Do a quick search and you'll find the thread.

Strano or BMR springs + BMR 1" lower front control arms + the rear hose mod will get you to that height. Koni shocks and JasonWW upper mount will make it ride nice.

Hey there. Here are some pictures of a couple Trans Ams with our springs. Without being too biased, I honestly think that 1.25-inches is the sweet spot for these cars. I think the best looking Camaro stance EVER is the STi Killer from GM High Tech, but his stance isn't for everyone as he uses our springs, 1-inch lower A-arms (w/bumpstop kit), and the rear hose mod.

No hose mod.


With the hose mod.
