I bought a 800 mile takeoff complete rear end from SLP and am having it gone through along with a T2R differential installed. From there the rear goes out to paint shop then for installation. I planned on waiting for pics and details until till I do the rear end swap and install the 1LE rear coils back in and shave those upper rubber springs perches at the same time.
I have some new front suspension components and the 1LE springs from thie project for sale on ebay. Might be a few hours before they all show up.Front suspension pics and details link
Sorry for the delay, just real busy.

my car is lowered with eibach prokits and it is like a pro-line drop. i have dynatech headers and cats and i scrap the cats once steep driveways and speed bumps. I usually take them sideways and only scratch a bit... but its annoying.
The factory 1le stuff is amazing, really. If you want to handle great, you really dont have to throw alot at this car. Koni singles, even their adjustable spring sets and a soli swaybar pair, torque arm and your car will handle.
I currently have the adjustable Hals front and back and though i love the SLAMMED look, it gets old a bit. The pic in my sig is the current drop, before it was LOW.
If you still want to lower it, get a spring that drops 3/4-1 inch, and be ready to go lower than that..

the strano springs are a 500/150 split, no progressive if my memory serves me right. Your will handle great however, if you are interested in drag, i would reconsider those spring rates and move to softer setting.
Not taking away from strano, he certainly knows his stuff, i have spoken with him plenty of times and every time i learned something new..
