Default quick question on stranos/bilsteins

i couldnt find anything on here about it but, im getting a set of stranos with hd bilsteins this weekend and i was wondering if it would look/ride better if i put my rubber isolaters back on becuase i currently have the heater hose mod or just put hose back on. Also i have 17's all the way around with 275/40's am i gonna need to beat the **** out of anything?

Re-use your isolators with the Stranos.

Install is pretty straight forward.

Did you get new front strut mounts?

I used the Napa ones. $80 as I recall.

Re-use the stock strut / spring cups.

Remember to index your your strut / spring assembly to upper mounting holes as closely as you can. Mount upper first, then bottom will pull itself straight when you torgue it down to the LCA.

The rear will take you 15 minutes...really

Align, enjoy.

Best Mod i've ever done to a LSX car.

I would put on the isolators. The stance and suspension travel is just right with stranos and the stock isolators.

Also you will be fine with 275/40/17 tires, as long as the wheels are somewhat near stock offset. No modification needed. Camaro SS came with this tire size stock.

I was thinking about running this set up with 11's in the rear, anyone have any pictures of this set up?

Those are a couple of mighty fine cars you've got there.
