Default Strano spring shorter?

In the middle of swapping out my SLP pro-rate's that came with with the car to Strano's and I notice the SLP is a lot taller. Normal?

Yup, Sam's Springs are shorter and you dont need springs compressors to install them! Sweet deal.

I still compressed mine. I doubt you can get the fronts back to the level of the compressed stockers without compression of the strano springs. I would highly recomend compressing them on the install.

I did not need compressors at all. The mount slid right on top of sam's springs and all I did was tighten the nut. Very easy.

ya man i thought that at first too, but on my car i STILL had to compress the springs to get the mount to sit as far down as possible. we both have the same shocks (though it might not matter), so you might not have got that mount as far down as possible. Just my personal experience.
