Default Stranso springs and anti-swaybars plus Koni 4/3s on...



Totally happy with this setup. The ride is firm but not jarring...it's as if the wheels are connected to the road but not transmitting the choppy feel to the body. Just goes to show you what proper dampening does. In one of my previous cars I had the Pro-Kit with stock shock absorbers ...there is no comparison.

Right now the rears are +1 from full soft and the fronts are 5.5 sweeps from soft. Also, the rear bar is super light, but the front outweighs the stock front bar by about 1.5lbs...not that I care, but just some info.

I'll get a few pics up later and measure the fenderwell height for some reference. I put the front spring perch on the lower groove and I'm running the rears with no upper isolator (heater hose on top coil).

It's good that you are happy with your setup, but it's not working to its full potential the way you have it. Sam didn't design the springs to run on the lower perch, so it's not recommended. You have a little less suspension travel the way you have it.

That you are aware of. You would be surprised how often you hit the bumpstops and don't even know it. Happens with stock springs and shocks.

The strano springs,sways and koni setup kicks ***. Sam is the man.It's like a totally different car.You will wonder how you drove it without the stuff.Fast 377 is right about the travel.
