Default Sam Strano is the MAN!

I ordered a set of Koni SA's for the rears of my car cuz my rear DA's are shot, so I figure while I'm getting them rebuilt I'll have the SA's on there and I probably won't ever change them again

Anyway, I left a message for Sam to call me when he got back from racing, he called me on Monday 9/22, we chatted for a few, and he ordered my Koni's and they came in today 9/24 in the afternoon via UPS.

Thanks Sam!!!

You're a good man, and congratulations on your results too!

I'll talk to you soon, will be ordering the stiffer springs when I get a chance.

More springs are in the pipeline (granted, they won't be here next week, but more are coming). Being a small company I can't afford to have thousands of springs around. I don't have an army of folks to sell them, just myself. And I prefer it that way, because then I can answer folks questions. I don't want to be the 700 pound Gorilla. I just want to do my thing and have happy customers.

Carlos--Glad to hear the shocks got there a-ok. Enjoy 'em!

do it, you won't be disappointed (in the shocks, anyway). stock shocks just can't control lowering springs, and can even be damaged when running too big of a drop on stock shocks....and if you do the shocks & springs at the same time, you only have to go in there once

so how much longer will Sam have his springs out of stock for? As I did order the UMI stage 1 kit and Ryan said they were on a back order so I have to wait. So how much longer do I have to wait?

Don't call me, I didn't take the order.

Probably December.
