Why DA's? I owned some, and opted to run SA's instead.

Sam, I sent an order to your the other night, I need some questions answered first though. Please pm, or call me, I left you a voicemail.

plan on doing the dana 60 rear, and s/c in the future. can the SA's handle that? i'm sure they can but the DA's will give more control. wont b doing much racing. just a street car really. ive owned the car for 7 years and its only been to the track twice.

I'll be ordering springs and a UMI adjustable PHB sooner or later. I'm thinking it'll be good to have the PHB since I will be going lower and also with large tires/wheels.

I can't send anything out before I talk to you (you know, need the payment and all first), so no worries. I will call. What's your real name, just so I can put 2 and 2 together...

The S60 would certainly mean you'd ideally want DA's over SA's in the rear. The front, the blower doesn't matter, that's sprung weight and compression adjustment deals with unsprung weight, not sprung...

So if you want to save some money, DA rear/SA front would work fine.

I sure wouldn't hurt to get an adjustable PHB...

You're not hinting it wouldn't help either are you?
Still contemplating the sway bars. I'd like to call you up but I don't want to bother you with question if you're still processing all the orders.

I'm simply saying that an adjustable PHB is not the 1000% required part it's made out to be. It's not a bad idea to have one, especially if you are super **** about the car being off 1/8" side to side.

I guess the thing for me is this: A Panhard bar, or any type still has geometry issues as the body moves up and down, it causes the body to move side to side anyway. Set it "square" statically is fine, but it dynamically moves as you drive. Back when I ran a PHB and bigger tires, I had to set the PHB off-center to keep rubbing out of the car and run spacers. Moving to the Watts link allowed me to take a total of 3/4" of spacer out, AND square the car up... and not rub.

Soooo, as far as I'm concerned the adjustable PHB being a necessity is mostly based on looks. Yes, there is some small help in feel, but not like what you could get and nothing I'd call earth shattering.

Sam, you called me at the absolute best moment. Would've liked to ask you a few things, but was as at work and went to the back for a minute to grab a bite of food. Perfect timing! Lol. Thanks again!

Just a reminder.... The sale is winding down and will end in a few short weeks. I have a good number of Koni's in stock, ready to ship starting @ $734.35/set. Shipping as low as $20 (location dependent).

Of course, you get setup and installation advice as part of the package, and you get it from me. I've been using Koni's for years personally. I had a set on my old 2001 Z28 literally from the 2nd day I bought it. I run Koni's on my Z06 Corvette, had them both my Mustangs, even my old winter beater 325is BMW that had 220k miles on it had Koni Sports. I understand them, I use them, I believe in them.

Lifetime warranty too!!!

Sam do we have until the 31st to order or is there a last minute timeframe? Graduation is next week so ill have the cash scraped together in a few weeks..

Sam Strano

iTrader: (41)

I have to end the sale on 5/21... which is 10 days before Koni ends it. There are a few reasons.

1. I won't be here that last week of the sale, I'll be traveling and racing the Corvette in Nebraska

2. Everyone waits until the very, very end then it's a mad rush and I just can't process more than one order at a time so I have to give myself time to compensate for the last minute "uh-oh the sale is ending" folks.

3. It takes time to get with customers for payment, and the orders have to be done and paid for before I leave to be able to honor the sale price.

Sam will be racing at the end of the month, around the 20th if I remember correctly. I would place my order by then just to be safe.
