Default End of August stock updates.

--Koni Sale is still on. It *technically* ENDS Monday September 5th. Here's the catch. That's Labor Day, we and everyone else will be closed. So you have to back that up some. And because I'll be @ SCCA Solo Nationals that, and Desiree does not work on Friday 9/2.... that means ALL ORDERS MUST BE PLACED AND PAID FOR BEFORE 5pm THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 1st. Anything after will be subject to the normal price (20% higher than current).

--We just got a shipment of our SP141 Lowering springs in. Remember these are not made by some company you haven't heard of. We've been doing these springs for years and haven't felt the need to change them mid-stream like others. And they are made by Hyperco. Same company you find on most serious race cars, and that we are using on the UMI/Strano coil-overs.

--The original 35 and 22mm hollow sway bars are in ready stock. We had a few adjustable, but they are currently sold out... but we can make to order with about a 3 week lead time.

And remember that we have packages that make ordering combinations of Koni's, Strano Springs, and bars really easy!

UMI/Strano Performance Parts coil-overs. Also in ready supply. You can buy a full set, front only, rear only. Come standard with 600/200 rates, but we can swap in other rates for no charge if you wish. And of course all the mounting hardware, bumpstops on the front. Mono-tube and rebound adjustable. Entire kit with everything is $1849.

Are there stiffer springs that maintain the stock height?

1LE springs are.
But if you are looking to improve handling while keeping stock height get good shocks first, as they will make the most difference. Then look into some balanced swaybars (35mm front, 22mm rear). Even with the stock springs the car will handle awesome with just those mods.

Right... there are no aftermarket, stock height, springs. Not a big calling for those and at stock height the OEM springs work pretty well. See also how back in the day lots of non-1LE cars beat 1LE cars (with those stiffer springs) autocrossing in stock classes with the same shocks and same wheels/tires.

Shocks and bars are 1 and 2 for modding up a car you want to ride the best and stay tall. JD is on the mark.
