Pro-kit front, Strano rear springs, PICS Just got done installing Strano's rear springs today. I thought the pro-kit rears were a little too low. Thanks Sam for the fast shipping!

you know, after looking at these befor ans after pics I realized its hard to really tell. I definitely noticed when it was in my driveway, but these pics dont show as much as I hoped.

I was just gonna say I didnt notice a difference at first, but the more I started to look at, the rear does look a tad higher. But you could use that extra inch or so with those 18's you got there 
Looks good though!

I guess I probably should've considered the fact that the before pics were shortly after I had the pro-kit installed
. No real spring sag yet
. The before pic that is in front of the garage is very recent though.

And I wouldn't think you'd want Strano's springs up front if you have the Sportlines in the rear.

The pro-kit is said to be"
Front: 1.5"
Rear 1.3"
But its probably lower in the front and definitely lower in the rear after sag.
Sportline is said to be:
1.8" front and rear, but from pictures that I've seen, I'd say lower.
Strano's are:
1.2" front and rear. I think theyre pretty consistent.
So i'm sittin at about1.5" lower than stack front and 1.2" lower in the rear. and with a 26" tire it has just the right amount of "rake" for me now.

Ya, you can tell its a bit lower on the front but it does look good. I plan on ordering strano front and rears along with his sway bars and some 4/3 konis. Sounds to be like a great combo for the street/strip car!
Aside to the looks you'll have to 'test' it out and let us know how she performs with the different springs. I was always under the impression for actual driving performance it wasn't advised to mix springs but not too sure. If it works than thats great b/c it looks great!

I have the same setup now as well, the pro kit springs were just too soft and the car was bottoming out and riding on the bump stops, i love these strano springs, i kinda wish i bought the whole set but i love the way it looks and i hope it can handle even close to what the whole set would have. I'll get pics up tomorrow, but i dont have before pics.
