Help with lowering options ! I am torn between what way to lower my car..
1. Lowering springs on stock (i know not recommended) or getting a new set of shocks to match the springs or..
2. Strange coilovers up front with a spring and strange shock out back or stock spring and hose mod
Car is just a weekend warrior that i would like to bring to the track once in a while and perform well. Although handling isnt my main concern i dont want it to handle terrible and i know i can adjust the coilovers for street use and read people have great feedback about them
What do you all think? Thanks!

I bought the Koni's from Strano and used the lower perch on the front 3/4" lower and the hose mod on the back 1/2" lower. It gave me the look i was going for with out the ride of a lowering spring. Oh....and the shocks are kick *** compared to the stock de carbons.
Hello, using the Strange coilovers is a great setup for the strip or street/strip car. We have several cars running these on daily drivers. If your in need of springs we have our 1 .25" set on sale until May 17 for $199.96. You can use the Strange coil overs in the front with or without our springs and use our rear springs. If you decide to go with our springs you can use our SA001 spring cups. The Strange shocks are a great choice for the weekend warrior.

Do you have an adjustable pan hard bar? Hello
I just wanted to leave you know that anytime you lower a vehicle I would highly recommend an adjustable pan hard bar. It will allow you recenter the rear end due to it shifting when lowered. Hope that could help!
Thanks

You can keep the factory springs (which work fine for drag racing) and do the heater hose mod...or we sell just our rear lowering springs(which also work well) in either case I would use a good adjustable rear shock like Strange.
