Strano springs are on *PICS*

Figured i'd post it in this section too. Just put Strano Springs on with Bilstein revalves. Big thanks to mwill15 for helping me with the install. Thanks to Sam also for his help.

To use an old SoCal word - absolutely bitchin'. IMO, perfect ride height. Congratulations on an awesome car now all the better.

Your car looks great !!

Can you tell me a little more about he ride characteristics of your car ??
The reason im asking this is because I want Strano Springs but I dont know what shocks to go with. I dont know if I should shell out the extra dough for the Konis or just get Revalved Bilsteins.

Thanks

the car drives and handles as good as it looks now. the steering feels tighter now and it takes the curves great. i havent got to drive it around much being that it isnt my dd. i went with the revalves because i didnt feel like having to adjust the konis and they were cheaper. i couldnt be happier with the setup.

Very nice. I am sure it handles awesome, Sam knows his stuff. Looks like a similar amount of drop as my G2's. I know Sams opinion on spring rate so that is most likely no where near the same. Congrats!

Front rates are actually the same between my spring and theirs. Rears are very different, 150 for mine, 170-ish-220 or so for theirs. a 25% bump in spring rate over stock V-8 springs was plenty for me.

I'll be here.... But we'll talk. I think given your rear spring rates it might be best to begin with only one of my front bars. Might cost me a few bucks, but I think it's the wiser course of action looking at your other parts. But we can discuss, there might be a compelling reason to do something else.
