Default Strano Springs & Konis

Strano Springs and Koni Sports, on the upper front perch. The rear has the LS1 isolators, which are overall 1/4 inch taller than the LT1 isolators. I put the LS1s on so when I put my autocross tires in the car it doesn't bottom out so soon. Plus I think the ride height is more correct/level with a me and/or passenger with just 1/4 inch more height to start.

Sorry the pic with the Firehawk wheels is so dark at the wheels. The race pix also have tires that stick out about 1/2 inch.




17x9 wheels.

^^^^^Holy S, look at those tires!!! That thing must have ridiculous grip. They don't hit the fenders/quarters?

The rear fenders are rolled and when it leans over they just barely fit up there without rub, and that's with a watts link. The fronts do rub a little bit, but because of the steering geometry, when it leans over they only touch a little bit of the inside lip of the front fender, which I could trim I guess. First AX on a lowered suspension, before with stock springs there was no touching with same size wheels. It is some great grip.

Yes, yes. I know my car is dirty in both sets of pics. The before pics were taken in the fall when it rained a bit. And the after pics are taken when it has been raining for several days.

AFTER: Koni STR.Ts/Strano

I'm guessing that the ride was too harsh or was getting rub or something. He said it sits a little higher now, so those coil overs were adjusted up for a reason. That chubby-wubby dough ball of a tire does look good in the back.

Was that all of the way down on the springs or was there more to go? Curious as to how far you can slam these things with coilovers.
