Well got my strt/strano combo installed. It rides better than before. Overall I'm happy with the change. After removing my Bilsteins, they weren't shot or in bad shape at all. They are good shocks, I got the them about 6-7 years ago. They are strano valved bilsteins, or something like that. I probably didn't have to spend the cash towards the strts, oh well. Springs made a big difference though, car doesn't feel floaty and doesn't bottom out as easy either. I used to have the Eibach Pro-Kit. I was expecting the car to be much higher but that was not the case, it barely raised the car on a couple corners.
Hose mod in the rear.

Thanks, suspesnsion setup is described above. Wheel setup is Street Lites 17x11 with 315/35 and 17x7 with 215/50.
It is sitting 26 inches all around!! I thought it looked lower. But didnt think it was possible. Ride is still great on the street.

That equates to about 1 inch drop in front and 2 inch drop in back for me with the strano springs.

Oh WOW...what Sam said!!! ���� What is the setup on that beauty including wheels and tires?!?!?! Very, very nice Sir!!!

Thank you,

Strano springs, stock 1LE Koni DA front shocks, Bilstein rears (for now, stock Koni rears need rebuilt). I've raised the car 1/2" from where it previously sat up front - was slammed like sportline slammed, and the rear isolators have been removed. LOVE the ride and handling. I'd had TONS of different combinations on these cars, and this is about as good as it gets for a shock/spring combo IMO.
