Default Koni/Strano suspension setup installed
I finally got around to installing this setup. Koni 4/4s, Strano springs and 35/22mm hollow swaybars. The car looks awesome and handles like it's on rails! I posted my review in the Suspension section: https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspensio...installed.html

Here's some pics:

Awesome pics. I like how you took it from the same spot and angles; it really shows off just how different it really is. The car looks great dude

You can't have negative rear camber, that's just the tires sitting in the wheel wells.

Looks good though, sits lower then most Strano/Koni setups I've seen.

That looks real clean, i've been wanting to lower my car a tad since it looks like it came with the Z71 off-road package. Did you install this yourself?

Yeah, figured out it was an optical illusion.

I wish my front end sat that low w/ the Koni/Strano setup. My rear tires fill up my rear wheel well better than my fronts...

Looks good!

I think they meant the cost of parts too. Is everything new?
