Koni's are on in the front!

Well, I called up Sam Strano and spoke with him about a suspension set up that would suit my needs for street and strip. Stuck with stock springs (to get my car off the ground too, trans brace was scraping) and Koni single adjustables up front. I dont have the cash for the rears but hope to get them soon.

The ride is amazing. I didnt realize changing the shocks out would make the front of the car feel so stiff. I cant wait to get the rest of the stuff. I havent had time to play with the settings, but the car is awesome how it is right now. I attached some pics how it sits right now. It is on the lower perch up front. The front with stock springs and shocks was slightly higher than it was when I first got the car I think because of the weight taken off the front end.

Here is a cool pic we took today. The stance on the car is nice. Not as mean as it was before but now I can go over speed bumps around town. Thanks again for everything Sam, I HIGHLY recommend calling him up before spending money on the suspension.

Nice looking car. I am thinking about shocks as my next mod. I still have the stock all around. What Koni's did you get on the front-DA's?

They are the single adjustables. Pricy shock but worth every penny. I cant wait to get the rears :) it just feels great driving now.

WS6FirebirdTA00 Nov 7, 2005 06:11 PM
