Strano lowering springs and revalved bilsteins Finally got my spring and shock combo installed over the weekend. I love the look of the new stance. Thanks Sam for taking time to talk to me and helping me pick out a great setup. The revalves are great, the backend of my car doesn't jump around going over bumps, the ride is very smooth, what a big diiference from the stockers. Thanks again Sam.

Damn wierd that is looks so different on TA's all the pics of the camaros it has a very level look on the your TA it is pretty raked. Looks great, I'm going to go with this because the rear springs are the shiznit but I am a little worried about how its going to look on the SS. That front looks lowered more than 1.2 inches...

The spring rates are 550 front and 150 rear, the ride now is so much better, I wish I would have done this sooner, so much smoother and the rearend doesn't jump around over bumps.

Thanks everyone for the compliments, much appreciated.
