Default Got the new Strano's on!

Well, I received my Strano springs on Monday, and a friend (FlashLCD33) put them on today at school. I am VERY impressed with these springs. The drop was a lot more than I expected with me originally thinking it wouldn't drop too much because they are made more for handling than looks. They are looking great and this is on the day of installation, and we all know they settle a little bit more after a couple of weeks of normal use. All that's left exterior wise is to buy a ws9 hood to get a ram air hood back on there and to put the black taillights back on before I take pics again! Thanks again Sam for a great product!!

But these pictures don't do the car justice at all, these springs look and feel so perfect. I will also have some better pictures in the future when I get her all done. Thanks for all the responses!
