Default Strano Handling Packages?

I'm kinda torn between the Stage 2 and 3. The main diff is the blistens vs. konis.

The car is a DD with mild track day usage. The main thing is ground clearance. I've heard that konis actually drop the car a little more, any truth to this?

Also does sam have a military discount?

Get the Koni's...I kinda waited around for the bilsteins myself, but with no exact time frame on when they will be available i went with the Koni 4/3, and boy i couldnt be any happier...The koni's will lower the car more when they are set on the lower perch ( you have to see them to know what im talking bout)..but setting themon the lower perch is not recommended while using lowering springs....

get the Koni's and dont look back

Shocks do not effect ride height, only springs. The font Koni's have a spring perch that you can lower if you want, making the front sit 3/4" lower on stock springs.

Does anyone have part numbers for the Koni's and a sponsor to buy them from. I want to lower my car but not too much. If I could lower the front by 3/4 inch with the konis and remove the rear isolators I would be happy.

Thats actually not a bad idea. How much does removing the isolator drop?
