Default Installed Strano Lowering Springs On My Camaro

Just put the Strano lowering springs on the front & kept the rear stock height. I like the rake stance because I think it makes our cars look more aggressive along with the 28" tires I got lol

Thanks for looking!


Stock height


Lowered just the front with Strano springs & GTO spares

I like the rake, kinda old-school. I'd be afraid to take it on even the most slightly uneven road surface though, lol.

I can't see the pics, but I guess this goes to show that my springs do lower the cars.

Well, the front also looks even lower because of the skinnies up there and the balloons on the rear.... note the stock pic was on stock wheels up front, and presumably a stock size tire.

I'm not big on the rake myself, but then again I don't drag race.

IMO, to much rake. I'd put the other front wheels back on(at least for the street), then clearance the rear inner fender and roll the fender lips and try running the strano rear lowering springs with it.

honestly just the 28s would give you the rake you wanted even with it being lowered. but to each their own, if you like it then sweet. i like the raked look but honestly think its to much rake.

I don't think it looks bad. Now just lower the rear around an inch now.

You need some tire shine. Lol.

But that rake isn't working out dude...the lowering looks good but you need to match the tires. I wouldn't be running a 28 with what you have anyways.

Too much rake IMO. Lower the rear and find a rear tire that fits your setup. That is too much tire.

Holy rake. In 1977 if you had a mullet you def thought this was awesome.

Maybe hose the mud off of the front rims?

Whatever tickles your monkey though. It would look a lot better if the rims matched.

i think your car is confused, a splitter and lowering springs up front, 28" drag tires on stock springs in the back...

But hey, if you like it more power to you.
