Dont do the Hose mod with Stranos. I speak from experiance. And the person from S.A. STFU! I know you cant be running on anything to low there. S.A. has some good streets. Yea I am from around there to and had a dropped F body and drug my car almost everywhere. I hated sportlines. Got strano rears with QA1s with no isolator and it sucked. My 12 bolt was pretty much ridding on the gas tank.

the fronts actually look a little lower than they should....do you have the koni's up front set on the upper or lower spring perch? if it's on the lower perch, i'd move it back to the upper asap....even Sam Strano recommends against running the lower perch with lowering springs, since there's not enough travel for the shocks to do their job properly, and they can possibly even be damaged as a result.

other than that, it looks really good, tho.

as for the wheels, i'd stick with 18" wheels personally.

I'm really sure by looking at your pictures that the koni SAs are on the lower perch. That's why the rear ride height looks high.

Still, it looks really good though!

295s, no mods at all required w/correct offset, less expensive and easier to find; just plug N play!
