Strano and BMR give about the same stance with good performance. But after springs you will need new shocks like Bilstein or Koni

Anyone know of a good place to pick up a set?

Thanks man! I got mine from a guy in Deland, "Yodaslittlebrother" i think his name was on here. They were in decent shape, but i did have to work on em a bit to clean em up. I want to get another set, the ones i have, the clear part is starting to age :/ and with no way to clean the inside of the lamp, its hard to clean.

They are plasti-dipped for now. I'll get em powder coated later this year.

in the video (which is OLD), the car is only hooked up to a small dewalt 12 volt battery, and it kinda shows, but right now they are working just fine with a normal car battery.

i put the amber bulbs in the reverse light housing. I dont care about reverse lights, so i dont have any right now, BUT.... the reverse light housing is actually split, so if you wanted to, you could dremel out a new hole and run them.


the only complaint is that i can still see the amber bulb through the clear lense. i am considering switching to an LED bulb, but i just dont have much time with all my other projects

i completely re-wired the car, so my wiring would be different then yours.

i was actually thinking about putting the amber bulb in the other side of the reverse light buld like you said. i dont have that much knowledge on wiring, but it sounds like something cool to do. when i get an extra set of LT1 tail lights i'll probably try it out lol

Welcome to the club. and for the record LT1 tails > LS1 tails. thats a fact. they follow the lines of the hatch and look cleaner. i altered mine to have sequential blinkers and brakes. uses stock reverse lights.
