Are you wanting that much of a drop and have good weight transfer like what drag springs would give you?

Better get an order in to Sam Strano quick! But seriously, any lowering spring is not going to launch as good as a drag spring or even a stocker.

Strano's springs are the absolute best for our cars. Simply because they were designed around our cars. Sam Auto-x's his Z28 and he custom designed a set of lowering springs and sway bars for our cars. They drop your cars height about 1.0-1.2inches. However there are some people still cutting 1.5 60ft at the strip. But with any lowering spring your going to want to get away from stock shocks

You can buy either the BMR or Strano springs and then trade me for my Prokit!

Another vote for Strano first - BMR second as far as lowering springs go...

Don't forget that when adding lowering springs - you should also upgrade your shocks to be compatible with spring rates being used - otherwise your handling will be comprimised.

Best to talk with Sam on that issue...
