got my rear springs, threw em in and took the car through about 40 miles of twisties - very satisfied.

even though the rear now sits taller (perfect), they're a little bit shorter than my pro-kit (with about 10k miles), but the spring rate and height are just fantastic. it makes me wonder what the fronts would be like, but i'm content for the moment.



thanks sam!

Glad you like them and they did everything we wanted (namely raise the car with better support, which is the whole idea)!

Thanks for the post and the additional trader rating, I appreciate it.

I don't have a solid date. When they get here all backorders will ship out ASAP.

Hi Sam,

Love my stuff from you but heard you may never get springs again???? whats up that? I apoligize if you've already covered it but a LS1 buddy rode in my car and that was all it took to get him hooked on my setup. He's M6 so it would be even better!!! Can you please let us know where things stand with Voight???

They are minimal lowering springs. You won't notice much if any drop in the rear. Now the fronts are a different story, the strano front will SLAM your ride. Beware of bumps. I'd go ahead and pick up a set of the strano rears, and match it with a set of front springs that lower it reasonably.

I hardly think that strano springs SLAM your ride. I went from sportlines to strano's and the sportlines were much lower. Just my .02

Well no **** you don't think the strano's slam it, you had sportlines. I have already blown out a front KONI shock simply going over a bump in the highway.

No need to take an attitude dude. Go back to the factory 4x4 stance if you like it. Why did the koni blow out? I wouldn't think "just" a bump would blow it out, but if it did it did.

I'm not taking an attitude. I was just simply stating it's kind of a "no **** sherlock" thing. A spring with an advertised drop of 1.6" front will probably drop the car lower than a spring with an advertised drop of 1.2" front.

And the reason the shock blew out was, obviously, that the car didn't have enough suspension travel in the front to properly take the bump at 75 mph, hence the shock bottomed out.
