If you just look into it; Sam Strano will recommend the KYB AGXs if you can't afford or don't want to pay for the Koni's. Its his 2nd most popular combo with his springs. I've spoken to the man on more than one occasion. Call him and talk to him if you don't believe me, he's great to talk to.

Oh and Will you are a Koni nut-swinger.



FYI. i have koni/strano myself.

That's what I am looking for. I just want a decent ride that will still handle for fun on the street.

I am trying to get a hold of Ryan to have them look at it for me before I buy anything I might not need. Since I can't seem to dial it in myself.

Besides the ride quality, how's the traction and handling?

From everything Ive read on the forum, strano springs offer great handling but still does a good job with ride control. I use to have hotchkis springs with the stock shocks and just the springs were stiffer than my bilstein/eibach setup I have now.
