2001 Chevy Camaro

Sam slips his new front spring on and reinstalls the shock mount. Strano Performance has really done its homework on this spring set. They are a proprietary alloy that is 35 percent lighter than comparable spring steel, and offer a 550 lb/in linear rate up front, and a 100-150 lb/in dual rate in the rear. In comparison, a stock Z28's rates are 292 front, 114 rear, and a 1LE's rates are 360 front, 130-180 progressive rear. You can see that Sam has indexed the spring pigtail to sit in the indexer correctly, and he has adjusted the coils so they don't cover the shock adjustment window once installed.
