Love my Strano Springs, hate the ride height I love how my Strano springs handle and my ride quality is pretty damn good for being on DeCarbons...
I'm curious if anyone has switched to a different spring?
I love how the Prokit sits but the ride quality isn't that great.
I know I'm trying to have my cake and eat it too. I just wish my car sat slightly lower. At times my car doesn't seem that much lower than stock...
any help/insight would be appreciated
Some example pics

I like the way they sit up front, but in my OPINION, the rears are a bit too high. I do however like the way the new BMR 1.25" springs sit, despite the fact that they are nearly identical in the amount both springs drop the car
(1.2 vs 1.25)

Well how long ago did you installed them ?
Maybe it needs to settle more.
I have a friend who has them and also has Konis, installed them on the lower perch, and the car is perfect in my opinion.

1. Have you done any weight reduction? That can have a big impact on final ride height...
2. Which end do you want to sit lower? If it is in the back, I have a suggestion that will buy you a little more lowering back there that only involves changing the spring isolator.

Strano springs with Koni DA 4/4's. Been on the car for a few months. It rides good and handles even better. No complaints. I autocross it regularly.
I think it's the perfect height. It actually sits pretty low and I do scrape occasionally. I think it's as low as I could go and still be okay on the street without scraping constantly.

2. I might try that I'm just scared the back will sit lower than the front

I actually wanted your black ZR-1's first but settled for these because they were a deal too good to pass up.
