Default Strano Performance Rear Springs: 5 sets available

Due to an overrun on last order of springs, I'm left with 5 pair of rear springs that have not fronts to pair up. These are available for $135 plus shipping. This is not a normal thing, I'm only selling because of an overrun situation that sometimes happens. When I have complete sets, I'll only sell complete sets.

They do lower the car, and make it handle much better as well.

Sam, I have a pro-kit now, but my rear is a little too low for my tastes. I've wanted to buy just the rear set of your springs for a while, but like you said, you dont seel them seperately usually. However, If I do buy these rears, would I ever be able to buy just the fronts at a later date?
Also, what is the spring rate for your rear springs?

I used these in just the rear. I got this same deal last year for just rears. Then i have QA1s up front. To me the car sits perfect. This is the best picture i can find of it. With the stanos out back and Qa1s up front.


This is before picture of it with stock springs in the rear.

I'm interested as well, but i'm wondering how the car will perform with Prokit front springs and Strano rears. Any ideas?

Just another input. I got 315s out back and they dont rub with these springs. I did have to do the BFH mod on the inner fender like usual that was before the springs.

Also interested. Was planning to replace my pro-kit entirely, but if Sam thinks mixing the two kits wouldn't be an overall hindrance, this might be a good way to go, also...Any thoughts, Sam?

My spring rates are not super high in the rear, and the ideal is that these rears be used for a cost effective fix to LS1 Pro-kit issues. I'd prefer to see you on a full set, but not everyone will do that.... I have these left over so it'd benefit anyone looking to lower the rear of a stock car, or raise the rear of a too low car.

If this was dangerous, I wouldn't release them like this. I wouldn't do it if the rear rates were say 200 pounds as that's way too much vs. stock or LS1 Pro-kit fronts.

These are not on my website, you'll have to call me on these.

just out of curiousity sam, how do you think the car would handle with your springs in the rear and stock springs in the front, with koni 4/4s, and the front konis on the lower perch?? i was thinking the car might sit close to level this way.

i know it would just be a guess for you, but your opinion is better than most people's facts!!

thanks
tony

Sam,

You know no one likes your springs on this site.

I can't wait to put mine on. I will be calling you very soon to order the Koni's.

Good question! I have the 4/3 Konis and the heater hose mod/lower perch and my car is slightly high in the back. I was wondering if I replaced the rear isolator and installed just the rear Strano springs how it would look and handle? Mike G.
