I'm running Koni sa' all the way around along with the SLP pro-rate springs(SS package). The handling is much improved over the SLP Bilsteins that came with the sports suspension SS package. Strano said the less expensive way to go would have been re-valved Bilsteins for the rear instead sa's but certainly nothing wrong with konis sa's all the way around. He also said the pro-rate springs are fine with the sa's and didn’t think I should go with any type of lowering. I've since swapped out the lca's and phb for some UMI adjustable stuff. Car handles pretty damn good under severe load now, it’s a real hoot to drive.

I was just waiting for your response Howard. OK Mike consider the pulleys sold to you. I will pull them off the car tomorrow. And they DO include both new condition belts required for these pulleys. You can either paypal me the $$ at racehead@wavecable.com or meet up with me later/next weekend ?

Thanks
Bill

The Borla is yours if you want it Howard. Do I consider it sold ? I still need to pull it off of the car so it'll probably be next weekend or so ?

I want the shifter

Gotta be quick around here.. LOL

I want something a little more solid than the stocker in the WS6. Since it's going to stay modded for a while, I am gonna make some tweaks here and there..

Since it's a Borla it's adjustable. Fully closed it is not much louder than the stock catback IMO, although it's a little deeper. Fully open it flat out roars. You should hear it on the freeway at WOT with my QTP/ORP/open Borla combo Ricers tend to hit the nearest exit and SUV drivers frown disaprovingly

WOW these things are now $829 ?!!!! Holy crap they've gone up

I am still hemming & hawing over whether or not I wanna go thru the suspension game again, so if dude has $$, feel free to sell them to him Bill.

Ok if howard cant do it I'll take it. I've got the SLP d/d that came with the car, sounds good but I'm bored. SHeeeesh, its to the point where I'm thinking about a twin sts setup just for something to do. Gets to be pretty boring being a stay at home dad all the time.
