Drop was almost exactly 1.25" all the way around. I have the exact before and after #'s at home. I can get them if you want. The only thing that ever scrapes is my cut-out, and that is when I am topping a hill or going into a steep drive way.

Silver02TA - yours would look just as good, you should try it. Best bang for the buck there is

Yeah I would appreciate your before numbers. Strano says his springs are a pretty consistant 1.25" drop, so the only thing inconsistant is ride height from the factory.

thx

WADDISME, are you comming back to Road Atlanta in March? I will be there with my vert and my fathers Vette. We should touch base and talk suspension and air pressures to see what works the best. Here is a couple pics from when I was there before the December date.

That guy takes great pics. I am having mine blown up, framed and hung in my garage.

I don't think I will make the March date. I have too much stuff going on here at work. I will probably do the May date. I would like to hook up and get some more infor.

BTW - have you ever played the FORZA video game? It has the Road Atlanta track. It is so close to the real thing it is incredible. One of the cars you can choose is a 2002 red Camaro. My times were around 1:47 in my TA on the track and my best time with the Camaro video game was 1:45. Pretty cool. I also drove a 2002 ZO6, with a best time of 1:39, including 152 down the backstraght. Hard to believe they are 20 mph faster. You should check it out.

Hopefully see you in May!

I'd highly recommend them

Reminds me of a Mustang commercial thats running here in Canada......."you couldn't find a German car you liked?"......."No, actually I couldn't find a speed limit I liked in the US!" as his Shelby 500 is being unloaded at the ship yard in Germany.

At that time it was with the SLP level 1 suspension. Stock lcr's, phb, and sway bars. Also had a slp strut tower brace and along with the Wolfe roll bar was a set of KBDD subframes. Since then, I have added Hotchkis sway bars, UMI rod ended LCA's, and rod ended PHB. I look forward to March to see how the new goodies do at Road Atlanta.
