I've been readin about that combination a lot and apparently its a pretty good combo ( as long as you're talking Strano's revalved bilsteins )

No Bilstein's here. But I do have Koni's with Strano springs and boy is it a nice difference. For reference, I used to run Bilstein HD's with stock springs, and I can honestly say the Koni/Strano is a much better combo than what I had before. The handling is obviously much better, but the ride is also nicer too. The shocks just do a much better job of absorbing bumps and whatnot. It all comes down to what you're willing to spend.

Yeah you DON'T want to run Bilstein HD's or SLP's with the strano springs.

The Bilstein Revalves though get very good reviews combined with strano's springs as he had the springs made to his specs and the shocks valved to match every individual car. He knows his stuff when it comes to F-body suspension and I think most people trust his products and advice. I am trying to fit some Strano Springs and Bilsteins into my budget right now...

Gosh, never realized how expensive suspension stuff is. After I get done repair the paint and doing the brakes I will have no cash left over to even think about suspension.

I run the Strano Bilstein Revalves/ Eibach Pro-Kit and I like it pretty well. No complaints here.
