Default Let's see your Camaro's with strano lowering springs!
I did a search but found a lot of cars on 17 inch rims. I'm tying to decide if I like their ride height so let's see your Camaro's on 18 inch rims sitting on strano springs! Please list your tire size too.

Looks fine to me. Have fun riding on the bump stops if you drop it lower...

why would it ride on bumpstops if it was no more than half an inch lower in the rear, offcourse considering the fact that the car is equipped with a nice set of struts.

That is sick.
How low is the car from the ground with Strano Springs? Is posible to put it up on regular ramps often?
