Default Strano Springs back in stock on 2/25/22

Just setup my delivery appointment frrom Hyperco for the next batch of springs, this Friday. It will take a few days to get all the backorders packed and shipped, springs first, assemblies second in order of date placed. I should have all pending orders cleared by about the middle of next week. I have shocks in stock, and will have about 100 sets of springs after the other orders are cleared.

A++ for Sam Strano & his springs w/Koni srt.t shocks. Installed, aligned yesterday and very happy.

Impressions after ~50 miles of driving.

Ride quality is much improved.
Handling is much improved.
Rear springs much firmer - A+++
Firm but not harsh.
Car feels more attached to road
Ride height seems ~.5 inch lower so far, not ~1.4 inch lower, aware car may settle a little

Maybe my old stock springs were riding a bit lower 20 years later after 257,000 miles than the original stock height. In any case the original shocks were done for.




Happy with Sam Strano's spring & Koni SRT.T shock kit. I would buy again. Recommend A++

Awesome. Thank you for the detailed feedback. Height will settle down some, but yeah new springs, new mounts, new shocks are certainly going to be a bit taller than stuff that's been driven the equivilent of 10 trips around the globe. Rubber bushings like the ones in the bottom of the front shocks, and the upper mounts are just more squished out, lowering the car some. Yet another reason I am not keen on claiming a drop, and people can be very pedantic.

I am a small business and live on word of mouth like this. Do you mind if I share your reveiw elsewhere?

Sure Sam, feel free to share!

BTW - I'm Wade Buff, I appreciate all the help over the years with both my 99 T/A & 02 Z28
