Default shock and spring package

Tired of the 4x4 look on my car and decided to jump in and get some new shocks and lowering springs. Any suggestions and best places to get them?

I have the koni/BMR combo. I got them when they were on sale, free springs. I would check BMR and see if they have the special still.

It depends on what shocks/springs you are looking for. We have a nice sale going on with the Koni shocks right now where if you buy the Koni shocks we give you a set of our BMR lowering springs for free. Here are a couple links to the packages we offer, if you have any question let me know.

Level 1 Koni Handling Package

http://bmrsuspension.com/index.cfm?p...&productid=823

Level 2 Koni Handling package

http://bmrsuspension.com/index.cfm?p...&productid=824

We also have Bilstein shocks in stock if you are looking for something a little more budget.

I've got plenty of my springs in stock, Bilstein's and Koni's are in stock as well. As for what kit might suit you best, we'd have to discuss that a bit in person to make a good recommendation for you.

Get the strano/billsteins. I had 240k with the stockers /Decarbons and it was night and day difference. The stance is amazing too!

These are our most popular setups that we've seen work pretty well over the years.

For what it's worth, the Koni's are *still* on sale (it was exteneded). I have "4/4" on-cars for $835/set. "4/3" sets with the off-car adjustable rear are $739/set. And there are some discount packages with my springs that knock another $20 or so off too.

I also have a combo using SLP Bilstein and Strano springs for $620.

All the above are in stock.

How low do your lowering springs go? Just comparing to BMR and Eibach...

Heh, well to be honest I stopped giving a number because too many people get hung up on the number itself. We used to call them 1.2", but I just stopped. Instead I encourage you to look at pictures of cars with the springs installed. A quick search will find you many. Here's a link to a thread about that: https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...g-kits-13.html

There are some others in this like to the springs on my website too: http://stranoparts.com/partdetails.p...=113&ModelID=7
