Strano is a great spring, but not as low as some of the others. What do you want? Low and clumsy or semi-low with great handling? Look at BMR and Eibach too....

People will say strano, and people will say BMR! I got a great deal on the BMR lowering springs so i went with them. Stance and quality is great.

I would say, call Sam Strano for your springs. Many people have great results with his product, but BMR is also another choice too. Many people think that the BMR springs are Knock-off's, but its just competition. Many company's buy the competitions product and copy or duplicate the design if its a winning design. Sam Strano came up with a very good design and product which opened the door to competition and price. Give Sam a call, he designed the product and is not just a salesman on the other end of the phone.

i got the Hotchkis 1.25" all the way around and it handles great pluss looks awsome. My brother got a set of the BMR for his LS1 and that batch of springs were junk, not saying all BMR's junk. His back end sits higher on one side and didnt even drop it that much, just a hair. the front dropped to about the height of mine though.

i just posted some pics of my spoiler but you can see the way it sits, its on a funny angle on the driveway though.
