Pro-kit front, Strano rear springs, PICS
#22
sorry to hijack, but i also have pro-kit front and strano rear springs..
strano's on the outside, 10k mile eibach pro-kit on the inside
before (pro-kit installed, about 60-70 miles of bay area's skyline blvd twisties):
after (40 miles of twisties):
after:
isolators used with both pro-kit and strano springs.
the springs are shorter, but the car sits just a little bit higher in the back. it's barely noticeable to the eye, but the sag is gone. car no longer rides the bump stops and roads somehow feel smoother (probably because i'm off the bumpstops).

i'd stay away from the pro-kit simply because of the rear springs - why bother when there are better springs out there?
before witnessing the difference with the strano rear springs, i'd tell you it's a little rough in the back on bumps, but it can corner. another thing to consider is that bilstein hd shocks aren't meant for lowering springs.
pro-kit with bilstein hd shocks are definitely better than stock, but the rear springs suck.

And Strano doesnt sell the rear springs seperately.

Where did you find JUST the strano rears???
I had the pro kit on but had to replace the rears b/c i bottomed out on pot holes. It was awful, so I put the stockers back in the back, but now the car rides horribly and can't corner for s#!t.
Other than the Strano's, what springs offer a slightly lower than stock height, but won't bottom me out everywhere?!?
