I'd use Strano Springs, but I'm biased. I developed them on my car Koni's, and know how to set the Koni's up with them.

Others don't even sell, let alone use the Koni shocks you have.

and as an unusual bonus for you right now, they are in stock (at least I think some are still left) and ready to ship. sometimes there is a delay in getting them because of the steps required to have them made to Sam's specs.

Just ordered mine, but don't have shocks to go with them yet. I bought strano springs, because they are completely unique. Not just for the spring rate, but material and weight and the guy races with them. Like I said tho I don't have them in yet so I can't comment on the way it makes the car feel as I still need shocks. I researched and read about 3 trillion threads trying to find out everything about all the springs that were/are popular. I wanted the best and from what I have read I chose strano. Plus I got lucky placed the order and two days later I had a shipping notification. I would have waited gladly tho.
