Stranos on! Pics before & after What a huge improvement over stock springs! Def. worth every penny of $250. Still on stock shocks for now, but am loving the new stance! Props to Sam Strano on these! Also put on UMI on car adjustable panhard rod / UMI on car adjustable LCA's.

Thanks alot snake skinner! Unfortunately I can't take credit for the flames... they were on there when I bought it.
More than likely I will go with the Koni's.. I was thinking about the KYB AGX but I'd rather save my money and get what I really want and what's best for the car. Anybody have any recommendations? I'm not looking to auto-x this car necessarily... more straight line driving than anything. My STi is for auto-x
Even though I know the stranos would perform great for autocross.
Here's a pic of the hood just for ***** and grins:

I'd sooner see you on SLP Bilstein's @ $384.99/set than AGX's @ $379.99/set. I carry both, but the Bilstein's are much better built and better shocks over the long run. If you want adjustment well then I'd point you to Koni's as they combine the superior quality and WAY better damping adjustment in one shock. 'course they cost more too.

Those look great! Just the stance I want on my T/A. Hopefully by the end of this month I'll be ordering some Strano's and SLP Bilsteins. I can't stand my car looking like a 4x4 anymore.
I really like the stance, looks perfect IMO.

@Sam Strano - You would be the guy to ask, what shocks would you recommend for mostly straight line, drag strip / street launching? I don't race much, maybe once or twice a month at the most at an 1/8th mile track, and other than that the car is a DD. I've heard only good things about the Koni's thus far. How would the Bilstein's be?
Thanks for everyone's comments on the car!

If you can save up the money, and you don't need shocks RIGHT NOW, then go for the Koni's. If you need them yesterday, then go with the bilsteins.
I run bilstein hds on stock springs and am very pleased. No intentions of lowering the car though.

Konis are awesome, I bought some a while back from Strano and just got around to putting them on yesterday. MASSIVE improvement over the stockers, definitely glad I spent the money on them.
