Anyone have this set up. Was looking at the Kyb Agx shocks and the strano lowering springs. I was wondering if this is a good set up both for look and ride quality

If you can't afford koni with Sam's springs, get bilsteins. Agx were ok on stock springs, I can't phantom them being good with Sams.

This is basically what Sam told me when I e-mailed him about his suspension stuff. He said if I wasn't going to buy the Koni's the SLP Blistens are really the only other choice. He did stress that the Koni's are the best option, but if I just didn't want to spend the money on the Koni's (which is what I said) then the SLP's are the next best option.

I have KYB's/Stranos. Hate them. I have on my other car Koni's/Strano's and I couldn't be any happier. Don't get the KYB's.

Depends on what you want to do with the car.
If you are going for a great handling/riding setup, Koni SA's are WELL worth the money. If you just want the lowered look, decent ride and decent handling then bilstiens will suffice.

I've seen BMR have sales on the Knoi's, doesn't Strano do it too? What does the SA prices come down to? I think I remember BMR's being down in the 700's.

I'm not concerned with the absolute best handling. Just want it to ride pretty good. I feel like the Blistens won't be THAT bad, but I know the Koni's are a world of difference.
