Post pics in here please. I want to see STILL pics to get an idea of how much lower the car sits. Thanks!

 

Would have thought with all the rage lately being the Strano springs, there would be some Camaros running them. The pics of the red TA with the Strano springs seem to show a rake to the car. Do the Camaros sit higher in the rear than the front with these springs as the TA does?

 

I've seen a few threads with pics of Strano springs lately. Is search broken again?

I've searched and only seen pics of TA's and one Camaro auto crossing. Was hoping to see some still shots of Camaros.

 

This is the only picture I've got of the car sitting still - its the same car you saw being autocrossed in the other threads, I have my street tires on instead of my R compounds.

 

Thanks for the pic. When you look at your car does the tire to fender gap in the rear seem to be larger than the gap between the tire and fender in the front? It's hard to tell from the pic as the angle is looking downward on the car.

 

Let me see if this helps. After the springs you are looking at a ground to fender lip height of right about 26" in front, and about 27 in the rear. That does vary a bit with each individual car (not a Firebird vs. a Camaro), just car to car due to inherent differences.

What's ironic here is most folks like a little bit of a raked look. Eibachs for instance lower the car pretty much the same all around which causes the rear to look lower than the front (because the rear wheel openings aren't as tall, but if you look at the rocker panel you'd see that's not really the case).

I can't help with the pics. I know there are folks with Camaro's I've sold these too, just keep asking, but a Firebird and a Camaro really don't look that different. You could compare any two of those cars on some other like spring to get an idea of the difference just due to the bodies. Remember to cosider wheel and tire size, and the color of the car. Black cars will appear lower than white cars.

 

link to springs? i can't find anything on that site :o

 

Site is messed up... Sorry.

$269 shipped. Feel free to call me for *any* information.

 

at work, can't call haha..

what are the drop on these? I'm hoping to get rid of my stock shocks and was considering just getting a new spring set too when I do

 

My main concern was that the Moser rear already has my car sitting higher in the rear, so I want it to be proportional (the tire to fender gap: front to rear). I don't want a major raked look.

 

1.25" and that's a number that's pretty damn solid. None of this stuff with claiming one thing and ending up 1/2" different.

 

The springs drop the front and back just about the same 1.25". But you axle is what's causing you to sit high in the rear because the tubes are bigger than GM axles. That will be there regardless of what spring you use (the axle tube thickness).

 

No, the car drop looks uniform. Ditto on what sam says about Firebird v. Camaro. I was out on the Dragon this weekend with a Firebird running Strano's springs, and the cars looked like they were at the same ride height.

 

on my camaro with stock springs with 9" i have these gaps
Front 2 1/4
Rear 2 3/4

 

Which shocks do u recommend with your springs Sam?

 

He and everyone else always recommends the Koni's.

 

I know Koni's are the best shocks on the market for f-bodies, just wondering if there are some others that could fit with his springs at a lower price he could also recommend.

 

He could probably revalve some Bilsteins, which is what I have on my car (although not using his springs - Ground Control Coil Overs on mine)...but to tell you the truth, I think I'll be ordering some Konis sometime over this next year. So I'll be spending my money twice...if I had to do it over again, I would have done Konis the first time. Hindsight is a bitch...

 

what would perform better?
stock springs and konis
sams springs and revalves
