After filling backorders, we have about 50 sets left.
Still $269 shipped (continential US only) despite a hefty increase in shipping charges which will eventually drive the price up a bit. Still lighter than other springs, etc.

The shorter, heavier wire diameter go in front (you can't really get them mixed up when you see the stock ones).

Strano springs are not designed for drag racing. They have a really stiff spring rate for handling.

With correctly valved shocks and the Strano springs, couldn't you have a car that handles well yet transfers weight for decent traction? - I know, two totally different types of suspensions. But, isn't there some happy medium? With Koni adjustables, can't you keep it on the handling side and adjust it at the drag strip for better weight transfer? Maybe I'm dreaming....

sammy boy, could you send me quote for your springs, non-adjustable LCA's, Re-lo brackets (bolt in), and an adjustable pan-hard rod ? all UMI of course unless you have something that is cheaper and just as good.... trying to work on a budget and would like to buy everything at once if it will save me $$$ let me know! thanks

Wait fellas.....

First, my springs are handling springs, by design. However, I do NOT use super stiff rear springs. Actually most springs are either always stiffer than mine, or are @ certain times. 150 rear is the working rate. Folks can and do drag on them and frankly they are not as stiff as other from BMR, DMS, GMS, Hypercoil, LG, Bilstein (in the BTS kit), H&R, etc.

I am back from my trip and will be trying to catch up. I never work weekends, I need my days off too.

Happy to quote you pricing, but there are numerous adjustable PHB's. Non-adjustable LCA's are a cheap, but not necessarily the best choice. Rather discuss reasons/needs first before quoting pricing since I'd rather sell you what you need....

I ordered mine today. They said less than 30 sets are left. I want to say how impressed I was by the woman, I can't remember her name, that took my order.
