I allready searched for hours, so please dont tell me to search again. If anyone has these springs along with some 18s-19's Id really appreciate if you would post some pics!

Thanks.

these are Strano's REAR springs (pro-kit fronts) and 18" C6s. Does that count?

A lil off topic guys (don't mean to thread hijack) but how much groud clearance did you guys lose with both the 18" wheels and stranos combined? I would assume .75" - but there's nothing like checking the actual application.

Not really sure what youre calculating. If the lower springs lowerd the car 1.2-1.5", then you would loose 1.2-1.5" of ground clearance. Now if you didnt keep exactly the same overall tire diameter (like i did with the rear tires), then things will be SLIGHTLY different. I have a 26" tall tire in the rear compared to a stock 25.5" tire stock.Fronts are the same size as stock however.
So out back i guess i probably lost about.... 0.7" of ground clearance???

It wouldn't matter. If tire radius remains the same, then you get lowered ~1.2 inches on strano springs.

However, if you switch to a taller tire, your chassis would sit higher.

I was assuming a xxx/40/17 would be 1" shorter than a xxx/40/18 - if that's not the case then I have my answer

PLEASE remember that there is no exact ride height for all cars. They all start differently and can end up differently. But if you take a look at the line that runs down the side of the car vs. the top of the tire, you'll find his pics are very much what most cars end up like.

Be aware that there cars out there that have larger than stock rear axles. Cars that have 9" and 12-bolt rears have 3" axle tubes. The 10-bolt uses 2.6" axle tubes. The springs sit atop the axle, and that difference can account for up to a 1/4" difference in height. When you consider that the steel used for the spring mounts on the axle might also be thicker, cars with aftermarket rears should not be used as a guide, unless you also have the same axle.

In short, read the sigs of those that post pics and make sure you are looking at a car that's like yours.

I have no problem with that, use them if you like Sam.
My Thanks to you for coming out with such a great product.

No, but as Sam states, I do have a Strange 12-bolt so that could be why it looks different.

I like the stance your car has wan2run, the rear doesnt sit high like most strano springs. For example, the red T/A above. I realize different rear ends make for a different ride height, thanks
