The Camaro SS is mine. I love the Strano lowering springs and Koni's. The car rides a little firmer, but better. The floaty feeling is gone in the curves. I've had it well over 100 several times on the autobahn since I installed them and it feels really good, especially on the curves. So far, I haven't had any trouble with dragging on anything. I'd highly recommend them

I was in a hurry so I didn't measure it. It is a little over an inch though. It was just what I wanted. It doesn't look like a 4 wheel drive, but it doesn't drag on everything either. Perfect.

He passed me on the backstretch pretty easily. Car had an odd whine (turbo?) as it went by. Someone also had a stock Altima in the B Class. Pretty slow!
i retract my previous statement.
i substitute it with lol@ the experienced car modder and his wife.

I don't remember off the top of my head. Give Sam Strano a call or check his website. His prices are very reasonable and he is great to do business with. I'm very satisfied with the results and Sam's service.

The springs are $269 shipped for the set. The shocks, well that depends on which of the numerous options you choose. Shocks that what I consider the minimum are $530/set for non-adjustable ones (Revalved Bilstein's). WADDISME and kc10 have Koni's which offer more flexibility in tuning the car. They start @ $725/set.

Don't worry, I have it on video passing the prelude and the Mustang. I passed more cars than passed me. The only things I couldn't keep up with was a supercharged Lotus Elise (it was awesome), some ZO6s, a 350Z that was heavily modded, and a couple of Porsches. There was some dude there in a ~'95 Tauras SHO with Hoosier RR tires. He never passed me, but I couldn't shake him either. There was a couple of other Elise's there, which they were fast thru the corners, but we were only allowed to pass on the straights, and they didn't have the power to pass me. I let the yellow by to see if I could hang with him thru the turns, but no way. He could wait until almost into a turn before he even touched his brakes. The owner said his car only weighed 2000 lbs. The TA did really good down the backstretch passing people, especially towards the end where I was doing 120 - 130 in 4th. It was pulling strong. I will post a video of me barely passing a C6 ZO6 down the front stretch and hitting the first turn hot and low!! Car started a 4 wheel slide across the track, the hooked and shot up the hill. It was awesome. My son said "Great save Dad!". I was like "Yeah, that was all me".
It is too much fun. BTW, the passengers that rode with me were my 250lb son and a 260 lb friend from work. Not sure that helps me any. I will be posting some video when I get them edited down.

WADD- do you have your before/after numbers?
