You have to pick your poison. I'm biased, but I think it's looks good. And remember you are missing a little weight in the back compared to what the springs were designed to carry, that will raise there rear with any spring you'd use.

The reason they ride well is because of the combination of travel and rate, change one of those and the ride will change....

 

I think it looks good. Im not too big on slammed though.

 

i had eibach prokit springs and thought the rear looked a little low, so i bought a set of strano rear springs when he was selling extra sets of just the rears.
i was going to get a set of the front springs, but i like the way the springs feel now with eibach prokit in front and strano springs in the rear. there's room for improvement, but at the moment, it seems to be the shocks that could offer better rebound.

i think if you just lower the front slightly, you would like the results.

not the best picture, but i haven't taken any good side shots of the car lately.
my sig picture is an outdated picture with prokit springs all the way around.

 

Since BobDoLe mentioned it... I do happen to have a few sets of rear only springs available for sale right now. $150 shipped.

 

Thanks for the hijack Sam. Jk

 

Sure.... no problem.

Seriously, I'm looking at the picture of your car in your signature... I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Looks right to me.

 

I think I just wish the rear was slightly lower. The front is perfect. My buddies Strano setup is slightly lower than mine in the rear

He also has 2 12's in the rear so that is probably the difference lol

Looks like I need to add some 12s

 

is your set of 4 still $275 shipped? i should be getting another LS1 next month and will need to lower it

 

I love the look and ride of my Strano/Koni setup. I had older BMR lowering springs, and they were kidney busters, even with the Konis. They were supposedly "progressive rate" so the Konis couldn't effectively control the spring. I might do the hose mod to lower the rear a little bit.

 

Talk about good timing for me. I need a set of rears. PM'd you.

 

That's right.... $275 is the shipped price.

 

I just installed the springs this weekend and don't think I want to comment on the ride quality yet until the car gets aligned (as I also put on LCAs) but I can say w/o a doubt that to me the car looks absolutely bitchin'!

As soon as I set the car down off of the jackstands (before the jack wouldn't come out from under the car ) my first thought was that the car looks absolutely SICK.

 

No I dont have pictures of his car, sorry

 

I have to say that is just a hair taller than my car on Hotchkiss with blue and yellows sitting on 18's in back. I am starting to think though that I would trade my look to give straight rate springs and more correctly matched damping a try.

You might like the look less, but I am willing to bet that when you make a turn over a rise or in a dip, you don't get a sad feeling in the pit of your stomach.

 

hopefully you will have some sets next month when i get the car

 

your car looks good man. yea if you put a speaker box in the rear if will drop a little more. also when i had my ws6 when i got relocation lca brackets it seem like the car dropped even a little bit more.

 

instead of adding weight, why not modify the rear spring isolator? You could either do the "hose mod" or get an aftermarket isolator from Energy Suspension that i would imagine would be slightly thinner. Much easier IMO, plus you dont have to get rid of the ride quality.

 

Not tryin to hijack, the OP seemed interesed in seeing it too, what would the Stranos be like on the Konis with the springs on the power perch in front?

 

I alos have relocation brackets

I'm going to try this out in the next couple of days

Yea, I would

 

You can do what you want... but I would not recommend this car using the lower perch. The shock will have little travel left, and at some point, I can pretty much guarantee it'll bottom out (the spring rate is meant for the height, not a lower height of say 2" which is about where the lower perch + my spring drop will put you).

It'll look cool. Won't be cool in a lot of other ways, its not what the shocks or the springs are designed to be. If you wanted 2" lowering springs, which are looks, then something like a Sportline is more up your alley. But we all know that the 2" drops don't work so well--it's just too low.
