I bought shocks and bars off of Sam about 2 years ago, I would have spent more money but he told me that I should not do to much at one time, and I am glad he did that. He was very helpful and VERY knowledgeable, the best customer service I have ever delt with and the female.....his mom I guess.....was very nice and helpful to.
I never compare prices when it comes to the things he sells, if by chance it is a little extra it is well worth the few extra dollars to buy from him.

Because of all of your experiences, I will be ordering my suspension pieces from him.
If there is a premium for ordering from Strano, then you're undoubtedly purchasing the right to pick his brain. I look forward to the day I return home. And the first thing I'm going to do is... order a cellphone. Then I shall call Mr. Strano on that cell phone.
But really Sam, if you would just answer a few questions over e-mails I'd be more than happy to place an order now just to have it by the time I get home. Heck, I'll even pay a deposit!

As for paying a premium. I appreciate the fact there are folks out there willing to pay for service. However, I work pretty hard to make sure I'm as competitive as I can be with our parts. While I'm rarely the cheapest (that's usually some nobody on E-bay with no overhead), we are very price competitive. Basically the advice comes for free to customers in the end.

I completely agree with everyone here. Strano's customer service is awesome! I called him for spring/shock advise, and was going to order his springs and revalves, but he actually talked me out of it! Told me that for what I wanted, just the koni's would probably suffice and be cheaper than the spring & shock setup. How many times will a vender talk you out of their product if it is in your best interest and not theirs? Long story short, I ended up ordering his springs and the koni's Mostly due to the great customer service! I will definitely be doing more business with him in the future.
Mostly due to the great customer service! I will definitely be doing more business with him in the future. Sam gave me my first auto-x setup. He also instructed me at my Evo school in Atlanta. No exageration, I remember almost every single word of the entire day of instruction - and try to pass it on to others (now that I've been doing this a few years).
