strano suspension kit lookin around at the stranos handling packages and was looking at the stage 3 package cause it came with sway bars, springs and shocks and looked like a good kit for what it all came with, was also wondering if it was just brand preference on the shocks between the stage 3 and stage 3.5 and if any one has gotten the stage 3 and wish they just got the stage 3.5 or 4 or etc if so why? thanks!
also car isnt going to be a strict autoX car or anything, just looking to get rid of some fender gap and gain some decent handling

I might be able to help... though in all honesty it's always best to discuss these things by phone.
There is NO WAY I'd do an HP3 over the HP3.5. The Bilstein's are WAY better built, more durable, and ride better. As you move to the HP kits with Koni's what you gain is *useable* adjustment (where a lot of the AGX adjustment isn't that helpful because is changes the wrong thing at the wrong time). Also Koni's have a lot more rebound control, and that's a huge part of what makes a car feel planted, secure, tied-down. Also greater rebound control makes the car roll and pitch slower, not less, but slower which makes the car much more planted and easier to drive quickly.
Does that help?
