Default Thanks Stranoparts.com

I don't post much but I just wanted to give Sam Strano a shout out for taking my order last week and getting me the parts in less than a week. After a lot of reading on what shock/spring package to go with for my 1996 Formula WS6 I decided on strano springs with Koni STR.T shocks. I'm really happy with the stance and the ride quality and all for a good price. Thank you Sam.

Pics.... LT1FTW








Just cause

Looks familiar - I just did the same thing last month. Couldn't tell from the pics, but did you install the front spring isolator in the lower shock holder/cup? I didn't the first time, so I had to dissemble the old ones, remove the fronts and dissemble, then put them back in. There was some clunking sounds in the front which is why I had to do it.

The other thing I wanted to note is that for the rear sway bar, the bottom of the end links is now lower than before due to the lowering springs. I didn't like it that way and installed a slightly shorter spacer in the link.

Enjoy the ride, I know I do!

I took those pics right after install. The car has settled down a tad bit more in the front and I love the look!
