I had Strano's springs installed last week but I didnt get an alignment until today, they ride good so far. I'll put them to the test next month in the AutoX, I didnt register in time for this Sundays autox

Looks good, hope you like them. And see, for all those worried because I made them white.... you can't even see them. I only made them white so 4 years from now when someone looked they could find out what they are. There are too many blue, gray, black springs, and yellow and orange were out of the question.

Well I know SLP LT's aren't the best on the market, but they came on the car...I want to lower the car...just wondering what the lowest I could go without having major clearance problems...I'm leaning towards the pro kit, but was wondering what else I could get away with. I had sportlines on my '91, I love the look of those, but I know I won't have any clearance...just wondering if the strano springs would work, because they look GREAT.

I can't tell you if SLP headers will drag or not, nobody can. Cars vary, headers vary, even springs vary a little bit... and so do the things you drive over, like speed bumps. You might have bigger ones in your apartment complex (or whatever) than Bob ever encounters.
The springs aren't hugely low. The purpose is handling over looks, they just happen to look good too

I have had them for over a month. My car is a daily driver over average roads. I have no issues with the ride. To me, it is the perfect setup, drive the crap out of them at the track, then drive home comfortably. What more can you ask for? I highly recommend them. Plus, the make your car look much better (here is another shameless pic of my car!)

The ride quality has gone a bit more firm but that doesnt matter to me, i could easily fix that by adjusting my shocks more soft but I want the best handling so I left my shocks the way they were. I didnt have to readjust my shocks as Sam predicted.

There are folks who have them on Camaro's. Don't know if there are any pics of them or not. But the wheel openings are pretty much the same on both cars.
No tail-dragger look like Eibach's. More pics of Johnny's car (and some from the side before and after for comparison): https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspension-brakes/576054-before-after-pics-strano-springs.html
