Make the Z eat pavement
 
First off I know how stupid it is to lower an already low car around here. But I'm discovering my common routes are planned out to avoid bad roads and are fairly smooth rides. The only reason I've been holding back on lowering springs (besides laziness) is ride quality. I love how the car rides as a DD nice and smooth with the ride height but I read real good reviews about Strano lowering springs. I kind of need springs anyways. They ride real nice apparently. My headers tuck up pretty good. I got KYB AGX's which maybee aren't the best shocks to be paired with good springs but... Heres how it sits now:

As you can see I got saggy ass (squashed rear springs) that suck. So I think I'm gonna get the LT1 springs lower 1.2" keep the stock rear isolators in the rear, and get new bumpstops because mine are smashed to shit. I'm also going to roll the rear fenders just to be safe.

Dms springs have a nice ride but are pretty low

Are Strano springs progressively wound?

KLAB 11-22-2011 05:28 PM

All springs are progressively wound. But if you're asking if they're labeled as them, nope.

i still have the lowering springs that were on my LT1. Wasnt a bad ride and gave it a good stance.

KLAB 11-22-2011 11:22 PM

summit springs?

941LE 11-23-2011 02:54 AM

yup

yeah for cheap good ride springs go with the Summit springs. there actually an Eibach Spring with the CORRECT spring rate! just get a good shock to go with them. AGX's you have should work right with them.

KLAB 11-23-2011 04:47 AM

Strano's are tempting me tho... How low is the summit spring drop?

941LE 11-23-2011 05:45 AM

1.5 inches.
