Default Strano VS Eibach Pro

What are the differences between the two? Ride height/Road comfort etc etc

Which ones do i want for a non auto X car but wants good suspension for occational street/strip?

Anymore ground clearance one over the other?

Would i notice a difference between the 2 with the same shock?

I hear nothing but good about Strano so that is what I went with. I have heard that the Eibach ride like crap unlike the Stranos. Strano's stance looks amazing as well.

What do you think they are going to say? They are going to try and sell you their springs. Asking people who have the springs. That will give you the most honest opinions.

I went with BMRs. Excellent service through the whole transaction and I love the stance.

I have heard that stranos are good springs, but one thing i noticed about stranos as compared to Eibach pro's, Is - Strano springs lower the rear of your car more than the front ones. Which makes your car look awkard in my opinion. Their is a 35 th SS here with strano springs and Koni adjustables and the car does not sit even. His car looks like only the rear dropped dramatically. Not bashing the strano's but they dont sit the car even. As far as the Eibach pro's which i have on my car, along with Koni adjustables- The ride height is real even and level. THey handle real good and i dont really scrape at all. Hope this helps.

You must never have spoken to Sam. Though he's a big fan of his parts, if he believes something else would be better, he'll tell ya so.

Anyone interested should do both.

Eventually you will find out which companies are the real deal and which are just selling product.

Thats crazy how yours sits even but this guy's 35th LE isnt. The same guy who put my umi upper and lower control arms along with koni adjustables also installed the strano springs and koni adjustables on that 35th LE camaro. I dont think you can improperly install springs, They only go one way. I was going to sell my eibachs cause of all the good feed back that i heard about strano's, but when i saw how that 35th LE sat, i decided not to go that route.

This is the first thread I have read of 100s of Strano Spring installs that says the back sits lower than the front. Definitly an install issue or a defective spring(s).

Ordered stranos this time. I liked the way my buddies car sat/rode with them. I had a prokit before, but I couldn't tell you how good it was because I still had stock shocks. That made it suck, BAD. I hear the BMR springs are a nice piece too.
