Camaros with Strano springs post pics 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?

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.

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.
