My current 4th gen:

 

Some pictures from the track last week. First time I went to the track after installing the brake master cylinder brace and let me tell you, it makes modulating the brakes soooooo much easier! I was able to trail brake much easier and had more confidence to get on the brakes later. Another amazing mod from Stranoparts!!

 

Brake brace is a good idea however you get it accomplished. I saw someone integrate a MC brace into a strut tower brace.

LOL at that first pic...look at that nose dive! That is the exact thing I'm working on eliminating. Some new UMI coilovers should help switching out the strano springs.

 

Take a closer look my friend. The "dive" you see isn't the nose slammed down, it is the rear up in the air. That is the first thing you need to see before assuming things. The next is that between my springs and Koni's the wheel rate rises on the front more quickly under compression than it does on the coil-overs.

 

smitty got worked.

I actually thought the same thing, massive nose dive so I appreciate the explanation. Anyway to keep the *** down with a livable shock?

 

The amount of lift is due to the geometry of the rear suspension and there is only so much you can do there with a torque arm and where you don't get issues with brake hop.

That said, I'm a dealer for Detroit Speed and they have a new 4 link, which might mitigate some of that but the upper arm angle is not adjustable as is, and it is $1500, come with a Panhard bar.

The SPEED of the lift is the shock rebound damping. More rebound like Koni Sport can give the less fast the rear end unloads and jumps up.

 

Here's mine, I have the Strano HP6 kit.


1 set of 4 (2 front, 2 rear) Koni "4/3" Sport shocks. Off-car adjustable rear shocks.

1 set Strano Performance SP141 1.2" lowering springs.

1 set Strano Performance Hollow Sway bars


275/35-18 Michelin Pilot Sports up front and 315/30-18 Michelin Pilot Sports in back.

 

97 TransAm Koni SA and Strano springs

 

That car looks awesome. Please get more pics!

 

I need to take more pics. Shameless Fayes2 pic as well.

 

Customer just put a set on his V-6. That was the pic he sent along with this note:

"Received and installed, they are absolutely perfect. Thanks again.

Steve"

 

 

Did you post a picture of your car yet? I did not experience this problem with my car.

 

Koni/Strano

 

That looks goooood. Can I borrow a picture for use on my website? I always need LT1 photo's.

 

You sure can!

 

My previous 1999 SS. Koni str.t with Strano springs.

 

Here is my Strano springs and Koni yellows.

Another former 96 Z28 1LE.. Koni yellow's Strano's..

 

Bump! I'll have my springs/shocks hopefully soon and I'll post up my '99 SS.
