Default I want to see LOWERED 98-02

I am looking for pictures of Trans Am/Firebirds 98-02 with different Lowering Springs set ups....wanna see how well they sit. I seen "1 in "drops" that look like nothing has change.

Many companies out there, I would like to see what you have, before I get them and your opinion.

strano's look awesome. Sit low, but not too low and offer great handling.

Many companies out there, I would like to see what you have, before I get them and your opinion.
Search the suspension section, a 1" drop is a very noticeable drop if you see before/after pics. Also don't forget to invest in some good shocks if you don't want the car to ride like a dump truck.
This is the probably best before/after pic I have of my car for comparison, strano springs (1.2" drop).
You'll probably notice that these are a popular spring, and there is a reason for that. These, unlike most (or any) other spring were developed on the track (auto-x) specifically for handling, and have been used on cars that win national titles. I dare you to find an off the shelf setup that can better the strano/koni combo.
