i have koni single adjustable struts with strano springs up front, i put the konis on the lower ride hieght setting, it lowered the car about 1-1.5inchs from what it was but still kinda looked stock imo but was better then before, well i went to the track last night and a guy with another WS6 had same setup with it on the lower setting and he was tucking tires almost in the front, about 2inchs lower then my stance.

my cars had a ride hieght issue ever since ive done my kmember, could something be installed wrong or setup wrong for it to be this much of a hieght diff?

try to get picks up when i get on my comp

More than likely there is absolutley nothing wrong with your springs/shocks, if you just installed a k-member you probably tightened the lower a-arms with suspension unloaded and hanging which is the real culprit for your incorrect ride height. The lower a-arms need to be tightened with the suspenion loaded and it should correct your issue. If this doesn't help give me a call at the shop and we can work on getting it figured out for you.

Pull the front up on a set of ramps and loosen the sway-bar end links on both sides, back the car down the ramps and then bounce the suspension down 3-4 times on each side. Now pull the car back up on the ramps again and tighten down the end links equally on both sides. Back the car down again and measure again, does the car sit clearly lower now ?
BTW, did you put new upper mounts on it with the Koni/Strano combo?

ToxicWS6

i did do new mounts as mine were rusted to the old struts, im gunna try the sway bar thing today if the rain holds off, heres a pic of how it sits now and stock set up vs current


front sits higher then back and it should be 3/4in lower since i have the konis on the lower setting, the back is a moser 9in (higher because of thicker axle tubes) strano springs stock shocks and has stock spring isolators




heres some stock vs koni/strano setup i took yesterday, only diff is about a 1/16th of an inch, i took note though that the stock spring has more coils in it though

ToxicWS6

my response never sent from my phone i guess, but ive had this set up for almost 8months, had it on an alignment machine last time anything was touched with it full load on it, i always wanted it lower then it is now (pic above) but it was what it was imo untill i saw the other guy who had stranos and konis on the lower setting and he was tucking, ill see if i can find a pic similar to how his car sat

Weight Removed.

ToxicWS6

ah ok, would the weight of the lighter kmember and moving battery to trunk and deleting abs do this maybe?

HioSSilver

No doubt it could. I've thought about cutting mine a little.

99Bluz28

I'd have to say no. You would have to remove a lot of weight to make the front sit at least 1" higher.

Those springs are red. Strano's springs aren't red, they're white. Did you paint them?

Zlow28

They look like they where cheaply painted. If you look closely, it looks like it has a few white spots.

ToxicWS6

yeah i sprayed them red real fast before i threw them in, and by going from those pics would you say i sit at normal height for what i have or should i be lower?

It doesn't look bad to me. Strano springs never slams a car at all. Could measure it I guess.

Stranos usually lower to the 26.5 range in fronts/rear. Get some measurements for us. Mine are 26.5 fronts and 26.75 rears with stock isolator still in place.

ToxicWS6

ight, i can pull some measurements at break today at work and let yall know
