Default Spring setup.. help needed. Strano's?

Well, I've been looking around at different spring setups.. I hear a ton about the Strano springs and the drop is pretty much perfect but what about those that have that nice mean stance where the back is up higher than the front a little bit? Can I snag the Strano's and some how still get that stance instead of dropping the car all around 1.2?

i have been looking for the same stance and i have decided to get a set strano's. been through many pics of dropped cars and the strano's seem to look the best. it lowers the front and back but still looks like it's raked foward a little bit. awsome stance.

i have noticed that the eibach pro-kit sits a lot lower in the back....like it's draggin ***.

Default Strano Spring availability update

This shipment of springs is in the USA... Department of Homeland Security snagged the containers for inspection from Customs. So the Feds have them at this time. As soon as I get word the have been released we'll get a trucking company to pick them up, and I'll let you know.

As for what's available. We are well over 1/2 (closer to 2/3rd) of the batch sold as of right now.

I like the stance of stealth alot. Is that just springs? and do you have a side pic of it instead of angled?
