Default Strano Springs

I just had Kooks LTs with true duals installed on my firehawk. Would the strano springs make the car sit too low for the true duals? I was wanting to do the koni/strano setup but i'm worried that the car will sit to low for the duals. Any ideas?

You shouldn't have any problems. The Strano springs dont sit that "low". My buddie has prokit springs like mine with true duals and long tubes and hes ok....he scrapes on a few things but overall its ok.

Pics of the drop on my car. If your going to lower your car, the strano springs are the best out there. They have a high rate in front to compensate for the lower stance, unlike alot of springs out there that bottom out the car constantly.

3" TD over the axle here with Strano/Koni4/4s...only time i scrape is STEEP inclines. i take everything at an angle so i rarely scrape. the only time i do scrap is when i dont have the room to go at an angle

I don't have Stranos yet, but my current setup I'm almost 100% certain sits lower than his springs, and I have Kooks LT headers and an over the axle true dual setup. I don't think you'll have any issues whatsoever...depending on how well your exhaust tucks. The headers most likely won't be the issue...it'll be the rest of it.
