Default Strano Spring owners: I need your pictures

I have lots of photos of LS1 cars, both Chevy and Pontiac on my springs. I know, even though this is L*S*1tech.com that there are LT1 guys out there on them too. I'll take any good pics anyone has of any car, but specifically I'm after pics for LT1 cars on set of Strano springs. This is for use on my website. Can't guarantee I'll use every photo. If I don't it's not a cut on your car. Comes down to what shows the spring's ride height the best.

Feel free to post them here, or if you prefer you can e-mail them to me: strano@stranoparts.com

Thanks!!!

Let me guess... you have a 12-bolt or a 9"? I'd guess so since your car sits higher in the rear than normal--and you have skinnies on the front. Have any other pics on street tires vs. drag setup? Just looking for stuff that shows folks what they are going to get for looks in a normal situation.

If you are going to be swapping the springs, you'll be right there to swap out the shocks. If you have the money, it will essentially save on the labor if you do both at the same time...

I'm right in the middle of my swap to Strano springs and Koni SAs on the fronts (the rears have been installed for a while), so I can't wait to see how it turns out. It would go much faster if I wasn't installing new upper and lower ball joints and painting everything that's rusted, but oh well... All in good time, but hopefully before I have to put it down for the winter.

LT1 Pontiac pics on strano springs and Koni 4/4.

I am running a 9inch rear and still run the rear spring isolators as well.

I can get more pictures if you would need them, the car is a little dirty in these pics.

Havnt sent mine-but mine sits about like DetoXX03s car. But with my rim/tire combo looks lower in front. And the Camaro and Firebird have different shape around fenderwells. So maybe thats why the different look.

If you mean the front being higher, I have a lot of weight reduction on mine.
