I'm in a similar boat. I lowered mine with ultra-lites and still need to get some more components like the HD upper strut mounts, spr.t's, and a PHB. I spoke with Sam the other day on the phone and that seemed to be the best way to go for me at the current time. Any chance you can do a package deal Sam??? ;-)

Will do. Got mine from Sam, too, for the same reason.

I am happy with my Bilstein shocks and struts. The car is not a road race car, but I do take it to the strip every once in a while. The ride is about the same as OEM.

Any feedback on the Koni STR-R dampers would be appreciated. Am wanting to install new shocks & Struts on my 2007 V6. Do not drag race, just use the car for long distance trips, many of them on mountain roads.

I've personally got the STR.Ts on my car. I did the rears first, then the fronts later. The rears make a world of difference in how the car feels and reacts to irregularities in the road surface. Simply amazing. Changing the fronts out, it felt a little more taut, but the difference doesn't seem nearly as pronounced to me as the rears. I'll say though, they're well worth the upgrade.
