Strano gets my vote but whatever you do STAY AWAY FROM EIBACH. Also shocks are way more important than most people realize so get the best you can afford. It was worth the wait to get into my Konis I think.

it has varying ride heights, I.E. people report various amounts of drop, even before any sag.

The LS1 pro kit also has very different rates from the LT1 kit, the LT1 kit has much more favorable rates that are more comparable to Strano's springs.

I need a drop at least as low as the ls1 pro-kit, does the lt1 advertise the same?
