Front seems a little lower than it should be. any thoughts? It still needs an alignment as well.

Doesn't look like a Strabo drop at all. Perhaps they were also cut a bit?

I got some measurements for the front.
Before was about 28in on passenger side.(measured with all season/winter tires)
After we have 25.5 passenger and 25.3 driver side. (measured on summer tires)

Taking in the tires situation which is only .1 inches smaller in diameter on summer tires it is still about a 2.5in drop.

My brother and i lowered the rear of the car then we moved to the front. And could not get the passenger sway bar endlink removed or the shock mount bolts and nuts. Took it to a shop the next day to do the front of the car. They said the front shock mounts were completely shot. Which i believe as we couldn't get the bolts removed, the rear sensetrac shocks that we removed wouldn't rebound. The shop said the front ones were the same story. (also sense trac, from previous owner).

Yeah when I first did springs on my t/a the shock mounts had to be replaced.


At 2.5 that's not normal for pretty much any of the major companies. I'd guess that they were cut. Do stranos have their brand name printed on them, so you're sure that is what you have?


Either way, the car like good!

I do not recall seeing anything strano related being printed on the springs. I ordered them from strano himself and the springs look just like what he has on his website. Unfortunately break is over and i will be returning to school finish the semester. After that i will be able to get a better look at what is going on.

Thank you!

Figure I'll throw this in the stance thread as a request/question

Here's how my car sits now with 26" tires in the front. Suspension is BMR springs, koni lower perch on front and HH mod in rear. Does anyone have a picture with 28" tires in the rear with the same suspension set up? Looking at a set of 315/50R18 tires. I know it will give it more of a raked look but I'm just not sure if I will like it more than the leveled stance.

Looks awesome. I'm either lowering mine on Stranos/Blistein or Viking coil overs this spring.

Well I went with the Vikings 350lb springs. Heater hose mod on stock rear springs and adjusted the front to how I like it. Anyone else have these setup semi-low like me?
