strano/bilsteins I just installed my strano springs and slp bilstein shocks! Thanks Sam, my car finally looks the way I wanted it to, and it drives better too. The video from blue knight helped a bunch too. The install was fairly easy except for the one T50 screw below the brake fluid reservoir. I lost like 45 minutes on that one bolt!! 
I need to get an alignment done now, just wondering how the camber is adjusted on the front end of these cars. I couldn't tell by looking at it, is it pretty easy for any alignment shop to do without any major modifications to the car?

The camber adjusts on the lower control arm... Just loosen the bolts and the control arm slides to adjust the camber (and the rear one is for caster).
And I'm glad you like your setup.

There are differences between ideal, and not good.....
I'm often put in a position that I can't seem to win. Folks think because I sell Bilstein, and my springs, and that there are folks running the combo that it's something I think is ideal. I think you could worse--but the Koni's do work better for the longer term.
The first year or two on Bilstein's are really good, but you're asking a lot from shocks not meant to control springs like mine (and most other lowering springs).
