Well there ya go, OP. I would still try to talk with Sam. From what I've seen in the suspension section, he's never tried to up-sell a member. Only told them what they need after he figured out what your main-use and will be (drag, street, auto-x, etc) and your ride preferences.
Sam Strano is actually who I worked with on my setup. Great guy to work with.
