Not the best pic to show you the drop and wheel/fender cap. All I can tell you 1.2" drop is perfect.

I love that front airdam, or whatever it's called, on your car.

Here is the before and after on my Strano springs. It sits absolutely perfect. Get lots of comments on the stance. It dropped it to the lowest I would probably go on the street. And the handling is outstanding with the Koni's I put on with it. The Adj. PH rod made a big difference too in the handling. really tightened it all up.
Front was 27" from fender opening to ground, now 25 5/8". Rear was 28", now is 26 7/8".

There are two before shots and two aftershots

could you post pictures of your 1.2&quot; drops? thanks-after-pic.jpg

The pics are also in my photo album since i'm not smart enough to copy them into the email in a larger format.

1.2 is just the right drop.

I have the LT1 pro kit (1.3") per sam's recommendation when he was out of his. I like it, but I wish I had his springs instead. I have longtubes and catted y and I have to be very very careful, I can't avoid scraping on most speed bumps even with just this much drop.

here is mine

Talk about ground clearance, I've LT and ORY also. A 3" Y merge to 4" exit leave me have about about 3" ground clearance. My Y-pipe sit even lower than my subframce connectors LOL.

I'm kinda worry about this too. That's why I don't go with other springs.

I didnt measure but I'd say its about 1.5". Just finished today.

Strano Springs re-using stock De Carbons till I get Koni 4/4's. Heater hose mod on rear springs.



Quick Reply: could you post pictures of your 1.2" drops? thanks
