Here we go! The big announcement.....

Strano Performance Parts Lowering Spring sets are officially on sale. A second shipment is due in here next week, we've found the ride heights and fitment to be just what was intended. So they will not be available to the general public.

The all important details:

Price: $269 shipped

Lowering amount: Approximately 1.25-1.3" (result vary from car to car, but all have been consistently in that range as was intended.

Spring rate: 550 lb/in. linear rate front. 100/150 lb/in. dual-stage rear. The dual stage is needed to keep the spring from coming loose in droop. the working rate is only 150 lbs/in. and it's very obvious the softer portion is immediately non-working when the car is on the ground.

Other details: I did all the specification work on these springs. The rates, the amount of lowering are all mine. These are NOT just rebranded springs. I don't have spring equipment, so I can't make them. The company building these for me is Vogtland.
Vogtland has pretty much taken over the market in some big racing series which tells you the springs are not crap.

My springs use Vogtland's proprietary VVS alloy which is 35% lighter than the normal spring steel. A set of Strano Peformance Parts springs boxed is 28 pounds. A set of anything else, Hotchkis, Eibach, etc.... is around 40-44 pounds depending on the actual spring set.

And here are some comments gather from the testers so far:

"I wanted to chime in about the drag racing capability.
I ran a personal best today with strano springs and koni SA's.
12.1 @ 118, 1.91 60'. "

"Stance looks perfect.
Ride is firm.
Turns great.
Springs = great product."

"The ride height data:
Before with LCA brackets, UMI APHR, 275/35 18 front 295/35 18 rear, stock
springs and struts/shocks, stock control arms.
LF: 27 1/2
LR: 28 5/8
RF: 27 1/2
RR: 28 1/2

After:
LF: 26 5/16
LR: 27 1/4
RF: 26 5/16
RR: 27 1/8

Total drop so far:
F: 1 3/16
R: 1 3/8
The springs stay put at full droop too."

"Got the Konis and springs on the car, Sam you have mail! I am very happy with the ride height / handling of the car so far. Thanks for the help Sam!"

 

Damn, I like the weight savings....wish you had these out about a year ago....

Maybe i'll get these sometime down the road....TTT for ya

 

Do you have any pics I could see..

 

AWESOME, now I don't have to fret over choosing springs to go with 4thgen Koni SAs.

 

TTT for Sam I am.

 

sent a pm.

 

Spring and Strut package deal?

 

What he said!

 

+2

 

Call, we'll discuss. But I don't do "ready make pacakages" because different situations warrant different parts.

 

There is a thread with pics, but I don't have the link handy.....

 

I mailed Arlyn (and got a excellent answer) but i cant make up my mind on what shocks to buy...

Which ones do you recommend?

 

If you are asking me what I'm telling you to buy..... I can't. Bottom line is simple. If you are looking Koni, then it comes down to ease of adjustment/how much adjustment. 3rd gen rears are cheaper, but harder to adjust and have less adjustments. 4th gens cost more, but are a lot easier to work with. Pick one, can't go wrong either way.

 

Will do

Nice springs. Bump for Sam.

 

My God I wish we could have gotten in on the testing phase or they had come out a little sooner.

I might consider changing the Hotchkis for these in the future though! Bump for a great guy and great business!

 

Sam - I will call you Monday, I'm in dire need of new springs and shocks, and I think it's time, I'm tired of riding on the bump stops with my 6 year old Eibach/Bilstein combo, they've done their job for the 104k miles they have been used

Look forward to talking to you!!

 

Spring are here, in the shop. 15 sets were boxed and sent yesterday! If you've been waiting for them to arrive, they have and they are now waiting on you.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions!

 

Is brookville up my Marienville? What does it cost to pick up a set of these? instead of shipping them? Any room for more test cars? Maybe a version 2?
