He is a good guy... I called BMR and Madman Racing and WestCoast Customs. It is good to get other peoples opinions. I went with 4/3s and Strano Springs and Panhard Bar.... Wow i should have used commas

Yea its good to get other opinions but Sam has won at what I want to do. I want the car to drive on the roads with good manners and be a great corner carver. Sam has proven time and time again that he can take the car through the twistys and make it run good.

Now, if I wanted a car that could launch and keep straight on the track then I would of considered someone elses opinion.

Thank you for the nice words guys. I'm glad to know I'm not slipping!!!

Just a reminder, we also have the KYB AGX's--in stock (and Bilstein, Tokico, Koni too)!

I can only do KYB's in sets of 4, it's the only way I can be cost competitive. I have to buy full sets.

I drove a 4/4 Strano Spring T/A this weekend for about 80 miles. It was a very firm ride. The ride was not harsh imo. It felt nice to swing the wheel left and right and have the car respond instantly with no body roll. I'm excited to get my stuff in!

Not yet... but very soon. The ETA about a 1.5 weeks ago was 2-3 weeks....

I have boxes on order so I can start shipping as soon as they arrive.

What's coming in is moving back out at a steady pace... But remember there is a long lead time between shipments for my springs since I can't keep a shop full (too much overhead in this day and age, economically speaking).
