Default Koni STR.Ts and Steeda Sports installed.

Installed Koni STR.T shocks/struts, Steeda Sport springs, Steeda H-D mounts and UMI adjustable pinhard bar the other day. I was on the fence for a long time about lowering the car, but wanted to install the better mounts and Konis. Like Sam said "It's only an inch." I am very pleased with the results the car just drives so much better.

Thanks guys. Jay the mounts allow camber to be adjusted and the stock ones are crap anyway. No kit all was purchased individually from Strano Perfomance Parts. Give Sam a call he can and will help you.

Your car looks slammed compared to the 4x4 look before picture. I'm just kiddin'
The new stance of your car just looks right and I'm sure you like the handling too.
Enjoy!

I'm glad you are enjoying the stuff you got from Strano Performance Parts. And I thank you for the business, and for posting the results.

Amazing what a few hundred bucks will do for a car, isn't it? Dampers matter, if I could only change one thing on a car, it would be the struts and shocks.

+1 on the improvement struts and shocks can make.

Koni Sports are the best single mod I have done by far.
