When I start to put my car back together will lower it and I have heard nothing but great things about Strano. Here is my question, what shocks are the best for those and how important is replacing the control arms, Kmember, and the rest of the rear pieces? I want to save weight and have a well balanced vehicle.
Koni shocks are the #1 recommended to go along with lowering springs (and are recommended by Sam for his springs). They work well with the suspension travel and are adjustable on rebound (and compression if you opt for the double adjustables) to tailor to your needs.
As far as replacing the other parts, it kind of depends on your goals of the car. The K-member replacement is just to reduce weight (and sometimes makes maintenance easier), control arms (in the back at least) can aid with traction....and other recommendations can be made based on what you want from the car more specifically. Try out the suspension section to get more answers too, along with calling Sam himself!

This picture just made up my mind on Strano's! Identical to mine other than my wheels.. 
The ground clearance and everything I am hearing about Sam's springs are sounding amazing. My lt's and custom turn downs had me worried, I think I'm going to give it a shot though..
Quick question.. With my 315's in the back, how bad is it going to be as far as rubbing? Is it going to be rolling fenders, BFH mod, or both? Who runs an adjustable PH bar with this setup?

JustAFool: I would start with the BFH mod. Still might have to roll the lip to keep from catching the tire. What offset do you have in the rear? Adjustable PHB is a must when lowered and 315's.

Trying a search on the subject along with checking out the suspension section. This has been covered a lot
