Lowering the SS...

[Turk]

Way too much wheel gap on the SS, so I want to drop it a bit. What springs would you guys recommend?

Look up Sam Strano's springs. Referred to simply as Strano springs.

I ordered stuff from him before and Sam himself called me to make sure everything worked out. Good service.

I had bilsteins with hoshkis springs on my TA. But I would say go with a strano setup. Replace the shocks also, as they have what 100K on them?

 

[02BlueGT]

I thought you were trading it in?

 

[Turk]

I decided I didn't want another car payment.

Sean has the Koni and Strano setup on his. I'm sure he'll chime in. It's a badass setup. Adjustable firmness all around.

 

[SHOmuff]

I had bilsteins

Ricky, didn't I tell you on the phone to call Sam Strano? Noob

 

[Riski]

Koni or even H&R's or just do QA1 coil overs

I went to his site, don't see the big deal. He's using eibachs, so why go through him for the upcharge when I can probably get them for wholesale price?

 

[Bru]

Do some research on LS1Tech. He has Vogtland customize springs per his specs, and Vogtland builds them. They're very unique springs and designed to match with Koni shocks.

QA1's with Strano = sex

BILSTEINS > ALL

ask fish

let some air out of the tires. FREE

Konis & Stranos is going to be the best combo ever. My friends 00' WS6 has them I can get pics for you.

Not the Eibach ones . . . these are the ones being talked about as "Strano springs" they will be what I do next to drop my SS more since I did the Koni's already.

If I was a baller like you I would do QA1 coilovers fo sho. Thats actually my plan eventually.

 

[PANDA]

The only thing I didn't like about my setup was the rear was slightly higher than the front.

 

[skeezer]

I have QA1 in the front of my car. QA1 will be going in the back also soon. It rides nice, adjusts nice.

 

[jason05gt]

Ricky, like I told you. If you want to make the car handle nicely on the street, go with Koni's. QA1's are more of a drag racing shock based on my knowledge.

 

[The Beast]

I have the Strano springs with Koni adjustables. here is a pic.


this is one day after being installed at my job

 

[Outlaw]

I'm planning on doing the eibach pro kit springs with KYB AGX shocks this winter. it gives the car a good drop but dosent slam it to the point where it's a pain in the ass.

i cant seem to find it, but if you know your way around LS1 tech bettter than me there's a thread floating around there with pics of all the common setups so you can see for yourself which one looks the best to you.

 

[Smokinhot]

I've heard good things about the strano setup. If i'd of kept my TA thats what it would have gotten, it too was a 4x4

 

[XxApollynxX]

Is this what you want? Dropped on QA1's

x2 Sam sells great products. I would recommed a set of his springs and if you have the money get a set of Koni 4/4s or re-valved Bilsteins if they still make them.
