Before Strano Springs:

After the install:

The car hadn't been washed for the "after" pics, but non-the-less...there she goes.

Jeff. I about smacked myself in the face as I didn't take a measurement before. According to Sam, it's 1.2"

That wouldn't be too bad then. I am real concerned about maintaining ground clearance -- if you get a chance see what you have between your LT's and/or Y pipe and the ground. The difference in the look of the car is quite dramatic.

Thanks all. I love the stance now. I am having a few issues with it. When I make a hard turn left I hear the TA clunking now. I need to create some clearance there. Also, my cross-member mount for the TA hits on larger speed bumps. Found that out going into the school parking lot to get to the garage. I didn't scrap or anything going over railroad tracks or over large dips and bumps in the road though so I think I'll be OK. If not, I might have to look into another TA and mount set-up other than the BMR Trak Pak I have.

Hey Jon, hows it for the corners now with it lowered?.. Was there a big improvment? Or is it about as good as it was handling wise before lowering? You may have to do the little zig-zag thing crossing speed bumps lol.

Haven't cornered it hard as the TA is hitting now. I need to create clearance before I really rip into it and test out the Koni/Strano combo.

I gotcha.. I was just curious is all.. Love the new stance!

Does the front of the torque arm attach at the tunnel brace or up by the transmission?

This isn't my car, but the same set-up. The portion where it dips to clear the exhaust is what is hitting the speed bump on mine now.

**pajeff02** · 06-29-2010, 09:32 AM

Looks like a modified tunnel mount -- have never seen anything quite like that on here.

**35th-ANV-SS** · 06-29-2010, 09:54 AM

It's the BMR Trak Pak. I don't really know what to do other than to a) don't ever go over speed bumps...which I normally don't anyway..and leave it be or b) sell the Trak Pak and get a different set-up.

The cross-member is welded to the SFCs.
