Default Stranoparts.com for Koni Sports!!

Hello everyone. I just wanted to share my excellent experience with Sam Strano at Stranoparts.com. I placed an order at 6:30pm Tuesday evening (5/4) for a set of the adjustable Koni Sports and received an order confirmation email immediately. The next day I got an email from Sam himself, with the invoice attached, personally thanking me for my business. The shocks arrived today, Friday (5/7), before 4:00pm. I realize that we are not too far apart (PA to VA), but the shocks were shipped out in less than 24 hours and that shows me that Sam takes his business and his customer service seriously. I can't remember the last time I was this satisfied with an online purchase. Not to mention, the price was fantastic and they were shipped for free!! I HIGHLY recommend anyone looking for any parts to stop at his website or give him a call first. I will be ordering the rest of my parts to complete my suspension from Sam.

Spoke with Sam today and placed my order....Koni Sports (yellows), Steeda Sport springs and HD mounts. Can't wait! Sam was very patient with my questions and offered great insight. Thanks Sam.

I'm running the same suspension setup as you guys will be, also ordered from strano. Word of advice, run the fronts on 2 full turns, and the rears on one full turn. Gives the best performance without needing a mouthpiece to keep from biting your tongue off.

you have me curious....2 full turns from SOFT, or 2 full turns from full stiff?

Np. I bought and put on the upper strut mounts as well as the Koni Sports, but instead of the springs you all got, I put on Elbach Pro's. Still...gonna try your shock suggestion for the heck of it to see what I think.

Thanks

I had this setup put on last week and just had everything aligned. **** it is PERFECT. +1 for Sam Strano... absolute best company I have ever done business with. I can't wait to play around with the adjustability. I've been driving with everything on full soft and I absolutely love it. The ride is fantastic - better than stock. Handling is incredible. I have a long, uphill sweeper on my way home... I can't believe a Mustang can handle this well.

I'm going to make my own thread after I get a few videos

you gotta love companies that devote their personal time to you the costumer! There is very few guys that will give you the time a day! Those who do, I buy exclusively from. I almost bought the set-up from him but then I traded in my 6, so now I gotta wait a bit to jack-up my GT Brian Cushing style...

Sams CS was top notch, he called me after I had originally placed my order for the STR.Ts to let me know they were on backorder, I asked about the Yellows when he said that, and then he proceeded to ask me a bunch of questions and determined that the yellows were in fact, better suited for my plans and modifications to my car. I'm going to order again from him once I finish off my suspension.

Hopefully he can get his hands on some stuff for my focus too *hint hint*.
