Everyone understands the impact shocks have on ride quality. While the contribution made by springs is less obvious, it is quite dramatic in some cases.
Some years ago, my buddy had Koni SA's with the Prokit while I was running Bilsteins on stock springs. Whenever I rode in his car, I would think "This is exactly how I DON'T want my car to ride." He finally ditched the Prokit for Stranos and the difference was unbelievable; even after dropping to the lower perch and doing the HH mod, the car rode SO much better.

Car looks great. I got your e-mail yesterday of the pics you sent and have saved them to my file for reference.
The whole springs and shock pairing thing is something I harp on a lot to my customers. Yes, you can do one without the other, but they are designed to work together. You will not get full benefit of one without the other. This goes for ride quality and performance. So no, it's not just a sales pitch, there is reasoning behind my madness
We spent a lot of time developing our springs and finding rates that work well to provide both qualities. A proper spring rate will put less work and stress on the shocks. But having a performance valved shock will help dampen the movements of a higher rate spring.

Assuming I don't run into any snags I will be installing the same setup on my 2000 SS! Glad to hear your review is the same as all the others. I can't wait to feel the difference compared to 15 year old stock springs and suspension.

It will be a huge upgrade over the factory stuff you currently have on the car.

Car looks great! Over 14 years I ran eibachs with stock shocks. Sucked. Then bilsteins with eibach. Still not great. Finally went koni yellow and Strano and loved them. Sold the LS1 in 2010 and just bought a 97 TA a month ago. I didn't hesitate, right back to Strano and koni yellow. Still waiting on the latest batch of springs but I know people who run BMR and they love them too. Proper shock is key!!
