Default Koni/ Strano with SLP longtubes

Just got my Konis and Strano springs on. 1000% better than stock. SLP longtubes are going to have to go though... yikes.



It's doable though. Just have to start swerving around the neighborhood kittens.

How much is the drop with those springs? I'm worried about when I upgrade my headers down the line too.

The reason for posting was to show the clearance with notoriously low hanging longtube and a common spring/shock combo. This is just to show how low SLPs are with lowering springs.


Beer > kittens

You're better off than me, but still about the same. I'm on a 5 year old Eibach Prokit and Bilsteins w SLP LT's. Yeah... Crushed my cats, deleted them, and the bottom of the collector and a couple primaries is flattened a little. One of these days I'll replace them. Just don't have the money right now.

I just got here in dec and have only been to the track once, ran into a few fbody guys there. I did see a bunch of lsx cars at the furniture store in harker heights on Friday, I guess they meet there every week but i dont know if its a club... Never been much of a car club guy. When do you redeploy?

Probably just over an inch. SLPs hang down really low.. hopefully you got something else.
