The primary reason for doing the UMM in the first place was to gain shock travel when putting the Stranos on the lower perch, so I did it all at the same time. I had it apart several times so I don't recall the exact amount of drop (going to the lower perch) but it was in the 1/2" - 5/8" range.

99 - That's an awesome spring/shock setup. What spring rate are you using now?

Do the spring rates mean it takes "625 lbs to compress the spring 1 inch?

Seems feasible, curious to see if decent alignment specs are achievable too. If so, I'm all for it! I want it to be LOW but I want to do it right

Decided not to do the mod and just use the upper perch with the stranos. I am actually very very happy with the drop, ride, and handling. I feel like a kinda pussied out a little but if I had a chance to do it all over, I'd do it the same way. It looks phenomenal in person and has the perfect stance in my opinion. Very slight rake with the rear isolators still in place, that's exactly the way I wanted it.

It's really amazing how these cars in pictures just dont do justice to the stance. I have looked at strano dropped cars in pics for years and said to myself, thats just not quite low enough, but in person, it's absolutely perfect
