I love my Strano's. Car looks good, especially the 10 spokes! And those tips are MASSIVE! Lol.

I think the "SS" on the grille should match the "SS" on the sides though...

Well I have a lot of subtle red stuff on this car so the red was appropriate. Red brakes red " camaro " on air dam, red bowtie and red under the hood. It ties in nicely IMO.

It looks better lowered..But, you still some gap to fill in.. The BMR's up there have a perfect stance IMO..

I wasn't going for a complete gapless look. I have ground effects. It's hard enough. I was going for performance anyways. Building it for autocross. Stranos are a performance spring, they just happen to lower it a bit. Thanks for the input though. PLus the guy with the BMRs has bigger wheels.

So it does seem sometimes that the rear is lower than the front. Anyone have any suggestions to fix it? Not looking for smart-*** answers, but helpful would be nice. I did a lot of research before I bought springs and stranos seemed to be the best I could find... This is somewhat disappointing.

have you do the heater hose mod? if so, put the rubber isolator thing back in and that should even it out. If you haven't, i don't know what to say

No I have not done the heater hose mod. This was my first suspension mod, i measured and it seems the entire passenger side of the car is about 1" lower than the drivers as well.

I believe you should talk to Strano. I think springs need some miles to break in evenly eventually

For what is worth I have heard of some other guy here that apparently had this happen too with the Strano springs. If they settle more with miles the problem would still be present since they would all settle at the same time.

Good luck.
