The fronts are, but then again our fronts are coilovers.

The rears are basically shorter springs, ERS(Eibach Racing Springs), both front and back sit on these "hats" that allow you to raise/lower your ride height.

AND, it's not easy changing the ride height. You do this by spinning the nut higher or lower, but you may have to spin the nut more on one side than the other side, you'll spend possibly hours to get it to exactly how you want it.

Here's the pics that I took while getting them installed, they were done by Guldstrand's Motor Sports...

Right front.

Left rear.

The tires are 275's all the way around, the front are just some normal junk and the back are MT Drag radials.

Your front looks lower than most peoples. With the stranos you didn't put them on the lower perch right? Or did you?

Thanks.

frostbite, how id the ride quality. I know no one recommends heating their springs because it makes them weaker. Is that true? That would be a very nice free mod if it doesn't ruin the ride quality. And i know that any lowering will drop the quality but is heating the springs even worse? Thanks

I don't know if GC Coilovers sell the rear hats separately, contact Sam Strano and see what he can do.

Thanks.

Ive had the setup for a long time, so the springs were allowed to settle. Most people post pics right after they put them on. I'm on the upper perch... the only one lowering springs should be on.
