Strano springs are in stock right now so take advantage. Plenty of people here that have them can definitely recommend them. Eibach springs sag after time.

Hello
X2 for the Strano Springs. Sam offers a great spring and has a great amount of R&D into the rates for best performance and handling. But I also wanted to suggest to you that I would highly suggest a adjustable pan hard bar to allow you to recenter the rear end (due to it shifts when a vehicle is lowered). And on that note seeing how Sam offers UMI Performance products its a one stop shop for you. Below is a link to show you what all styles of pan hard bars we have to offer.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
Thanks
Brad

If you really want to avoid issues, it would be a good idea to get some good shocks along with the springs. The stock shocks aren't exactly adequate for the stock springs, and when you lower the vehicle and take away suspension range, the stock shocks are even poorer. To really take advantage of the Stranos, I'd recommend some Koni's, or at the very least some KYB's or Bilsteins.

BTW, by issues I just mean that your ride will be rougher and won't ride/handle as well as it could.
