Praise for Sam Strano
Very true mitchntx. But no more than Tony mamo , on his latest heads/builds. They do toot their own horn alot. But rightfully so. They and other shops show the potential of a combo that may work for the masses.
^^Anyone know who is FORCING these guys ("haters") to read these threads, let alone post on them? You know, I'll leave it at that. Some points may be valid, but it turns the whole gist of these threads from (generally) something positive into something ENTIRELY NEGATIVE... Or is that the intention? HMMMMM...

Ive done a couple transactions with Sam and without a doubt I dont mind spending the extra coin, simply on the fact of the good customer service. While other unnamed sponsors dont even answer the phone when you call (about 15 times over the course of 3 days.. just to ask a simple ordering question...) He has went out of his way during our transactions so far and he will be getting more of my money in the future!

On the other side of the coin, LS1tech (and any forum for that matter) is a place where people are allowed to say what they want. I would rather see stuff that is uncensored, than something like everyone prancing around in a field with magical bunnies while holding hands and singing the Sound of Music songs. Not everyone has to agree, and I am not going to keep repeating myself about how awesome my car runs now, but I say let the disagreers disagree, and let the agreers agree, and nobody bite their tongue to try to make an artificial "everything is fantastical" vibe to the world.

As far as I know, there is no weight reduction in the front. I assume you are asking because the front sits a little higher than most cars with the same setup. For some reason, it does sit a little higher, and it was a lot higher with the SLP Bilstein/Eibachs, but it is definitely more even front to rear now with the Koni/Stranos. The nose dive was crazy with the SLP Bilstein/Eibachs and factory swaybars, but there is almost zero nose dive with the Koni/Stranos and Strano swaybars.

I don't get this sam whining stuff. I have some of sams stuff on my car and love it. I talked with him and he was very helpful. Not just helpful, but knows every part and how it works and how it will react. I had a couple questions for him too and it was more of a "is this right" kind of stuff. I will always deal with sam in the future. The guy is a freaking genious.

Now god forbid a paying sponsor who helps keep this very site running (by paying) voice who he is and where he came from
Take off the rose tinted glasses Mitch, we all respect and look up to you for advice too.
I think the "I love me thread" you are talking about are the ones made after some arrogant morons go off on Sam for recommending something that they don't what to hear. They go off and **** talk and then Sam wants to clear his name and prove his reputation. Much like you did in the STB thread once questioned about your experience with Fbodies... Kinda ironic isn't it?

See post #58.
Also notice how Lemming Liberty takes on ANYONE who disagrees or questions his thought process. A really swell person he is. That's not ironic, it's moronic.
I recall when some one would post a question here and real, tech advice.
Now it's just a spam-fest.
If you send the site sponsor money, to me, that gives you a right to advertise, like a newspaper ad or TV ad. Posting "buy my stuff" in a tech question thread is like getting a call from a tele-marketer. It's unsolicited and happens way too often.
Not only are you wrong again, but your link is bad!
"Page not found"
Funny how you judge someone you have no clue about -- lemming? That is the vast majority of Americans, not me. I ask a lot of questions to learn -- did they not teach you that growing up? I only challenge when I believe there is something wrong or missing or in error with what someone else is saying. You just seem to like to nitpick and pretend you know it all... Not only that, you now resort to ad hominem attacks... So are we correct to assume that "Law Motorsports" is because you are a lawyer? Yes yes, we know, "it is JUST your personal site". Lawyer speak?

Can you, in any way, explain why he is "wrong"?
I was referring to the 2nd comment made, obviously no point was made in his first -- no valid link to even read.

I just described my experience with my previous suspension setups, and my experience with dealing with Mr. Strano, so others could look at what my experiences were and help them make a decision on what to do with their cars.
