Nice, how do you like the new feel/stance? What size rims (and tires for sake of discussion) are you running there?

It's just amazing how much better that looks. I ordered Strano springs earlier this week. I can't wait to put them on.

I have a small order of Koni's coming in about a week. Most all of them are sold, might be one or two sets not sold. But a big order is coming in about 2-3 weeks and they'll be plenty of shocks to go around.

How would you rate the ride?

I'm thinking about a very similiar set-up for my '02.

I don't mind a stiff ride and I will be rarely driving the car but would like to be able to take it on a couple trips this summer with the wife. Is it tolerable for 3+ hours on the highway?

I would rate it a 9.5 out of 10 for an f-body

The ride defiantly tolerable for 3+ hours on highway, believe it or not it's soo much better than stock. Seems like the faster ya go, the more response ya get

you'll never look back
