Exclamation Suspension.. To many to chose from!!

OK I am going with an street/strip setup.. I am looking for a good launch springs as well as looking good on the street trim as well.. I do have long tubes so clearance is an issue.. sport lines seem to look to low for me.. as i dont want to look slammed but some slammed look ok.. I am looking for an agressive stance some PICS and info would be great... and track 60 foot times as well... I have a guy with sport lines for sale and another with drag launch kit.. never seen camaro with drag launch kit anyone with pics PLEASE post them.. was thinking about doing sport line in front and drag in rear but not sure.. thanks all!!

I know that these springs get better reviews than the Sportlines. They are not as low either.

I would give Sam Strano @ Strano Performance Parts a call.

They specialize in F-Body suspensions and have kits available, along with their own Street/ Strip Shock/Spring Combo. They race their own suspension setups and from what I've heard have a good handle on most of the setups & parts on the market.

I've not heard anyone who has called them and provided details of expectations/budget come away with a bad setup. I'm sure they'll set you straight for your needs

IMO, the Hotchkis lowering springs are a better quality springs than the Eibach lowering springs.

Strano Springs with Koni shocks is the best combo you can put on these cars without spending stupid money. I have this combo on my car and the car handles like a European sports car. Don't buy Eibachs if you want your car to handle well.
