QUOTE (trackbird @ Nov 20 2006, 10:39 PM)  Spelling? Did someone make a typo or something? "Strano Preformance" I don't know that I would have noticed if Arlyn hadn't told me about it though. |

Sam how do you feel about these springs paired with koni DA's in the rear and a Dana 60 axle?
Still looking at 4-6 weeks for springs? |

Shcoks are a-ok. Axle is unsprung, so really the springs aren't a factor either way because of it. But I just did a set on a car for GMHTP magazine and it will in the future have an S60 in it, I think it'd be fine (other than dragging that much unsprung weight around in general).

Just thought I would bring this back to the top and give a quick review on my impression of the Strano springs. I swaped out my Eibach Pro kit springs for Strano springs and also went from a stock 19mm rear bar to a Strano hollow 22mm bar. You can see the rest of my mods in my signature and I run 315/35 17 V710's for my race tires.
I've run one autocross and one track event at Sebring on the new setup so far. The old setup would tend to understeer when pushed to the limit but I'm happy to say that now the car feels quite neutral with a hint of on throttle over steer. I had to get used to it but now in the tighter turns I can use the throttle to induce a little rotation and it's just a blast. I always had trouble with the "safety pen", turn 7, at Sebring and once I got the hang of the new setup I could rotate the car and my exit speeds were much better. I'm heading back this weekend so hopefully I can get some lap times for comparison to my old ones. Thanks for the help and a great product Sam.

Don't know yet... hard to dig through 2500 pounds of springs that quickly. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Finally got mine installed. Along with Koni SA shocks. Massive difference, feels like a whole new animal! Can't wait for the next auto-x event. +1 for these springs!
Edit: After a couple days on this setup, i'm a believer. The car reacts and handles like never before. It feels awesome! This post has been edited by wdtiger: Jun 27 2007, 02:17 AM |
