Default Strano sway bars = awesome

My car officially rides like a C5 now, albeit a heavy one. I know with a better alignment, it will feel like a C5 period. I do wish I had nutted up for the Konis but damn, this car drives nice just like it is. Flat in corners, predictable, and taut without being harsh or uncomfortable. I actually liked the poly tranny mount but couldn't live with the noise on a daily basiss. It's no Camry or Accord, but it does ride nice, like an old Corolla.

Damn thing really feels good in turns. I have only gained everywhere, with no cost to comfort. I hope that adding Konis will continue that trend.

Buy from Sam, he is the best out there for making these cars what you want. You must call him, talk to him, follow his advice, and buy from him. If you Strano-ize and UMI-fy your car, it WILL be what you want - better than anyone here can describe in a post. Just learn to communicate, listen, and execute.

I finally have my 4 door vette, not a POS car over a bad *** engine and tranny. Now if I could just get rid of this cat hump and all the squeaks and rattles...

I agree. I have driven several cars with different lowering/handling kits and think Sam's is the best out there. Not too low, awesome handling and still rides good.

I also have his bars and his rear springs which are a nice improvement over the pro-kit's rears. Hes a good guy to deal with.

I really wish you wouldn't have posted this.....because now Sam is going to get my tax return in exchange for springs and sway bars. Glad to hear even more good news about his top notch stuff.

Yup the strano sway bars definitely help make the FBody carve corners much better. I am so happy I bought my set last year.

OOPS - I meant 4 SEAT vette. Because it corners flat, like the many C5s I have driven.
