Default Which coils? BMR or UMI? Or....???

I need a set of new coils, the British weather has rusted mine and 3 of the 4 seemed to have snapped

I'd like to buy the Strano springs http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetai...=113&ModelID=7

But they don't seem to have any online payment or UK shipping..... I've emailed them. But no response.

So it looks like I'll have to buy from somewhere like Summit.

Should I go for the BMR (red) springs 'BMR Suspension SP001R'

Or the UMI ones 'UMI Performance 2061'

If Strano come back to me, I'll go with their kit.

Have had several sets of springs with my six 3rd & 4th Gen Camaro’s & Firebird's. Strano's spring for the 4th Gen are the best I've had. It's worth the phone call to Strano to order. Call and then order, as sometimes Sam can provide better suggestions after talking with him than just ordering online.

Best wishes with the new set up!

Great. Could you email me/PM me how I can order from you? I did email you from your shop website.

Phoning is not very easy from here... Thanks.

Well that's a bit cryptic. Where is here? I don't know how to tell you to order because typically people either do it online and we call back for payment, or we can do it via PayPal after an online order was submitted.

But considering I don't have any idea what we're talking about in terms of where we are shipping and accuse me the impression it isn't somewhere in the continental United States it might take another couple steps.

Hi Sam.

I'd very much like to buy from you.


I did send an email to strano@stranoparts.com on the 16th May, but not had anything back. your PM box is also full on here.

Wasn't sure how I should order or if you even shipped to the UK. Your website doesn't have a 'country' field on checkout. But I have just put an order through (assume your online system doesn't give an order number?).

Thanks
